Bomberger's Declaration 2020 Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The 2020 release of Bomberger’s Declaration is a masterful blend of dark toffee, caramel nougat, and smoked old wood, intertwined with hints of dried fruits, vanilla buttercream, and a touch of cinnamon. Its depth and richness suggest an age of 10-12 years, though Michter’s keeps its exact age a well-guarded secret. The unique combination of dark sugars, char, nuttiness, and dark fruits contribute to its distinctive and mature profile, possibly influenced by the chinquapin oak.

DISTILLATION & TASTING NOTES

Nose
A captivating blend of charred caramel, real maple syrup, smoked oak, and toasted vanilla, complemented by dried berries, cinnamon, and a hint of grass and almonds. The distinctive oaky and walnutty aroma sets it apart.

Palate
The flavors begin with a harmonious blend of caramel, citrus, cherry, and vanilla, balanced by dried oak. Notes of macadamia nut, honeycomb, fire-roasted vanilla cream, and roasted oak emerge, culminating in a pecan-pie-like sweetness.

Finish
A hint of mint and eucalyptus, reminiscent of horseradish, but milder. The 108 proof offers a bite, but with time, it mellows, revealing a bourbon that's rich and flavorful, yet not overly complex.
