The Historic Bomberger's Legacy
The story behind Bomberger's Declaration dates back to 1753, when Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk established a distillery in Pennsylvania.
During the 1800s, the operation became known as Bomberger's Distillery before eventually adopting the Michter's name during the 20th century.
Today, Michter's honors this remarkable heritage through its Legacy Series, which includes Bomberger's Declaration and Shenk's Homestead.
Each annual release explores distinctive maturation techniques while celebrating the traditions that helped shape American whiskey.
What Makes the 2020 Release Special?
The defining characteristic of the 2020 Bomberger's Declaration is its increased use of Chinquapin oak.
Chinquapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) is a distinctive North American oak species known for contributing rich flavor and aromatic complexity to whiskey.
For this release, Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson selected barrels crafted from wood naturally seasoned for more than three years.
Compared with the 2019 expression, the 2020 release incorporated a greater proportion of bourbon that spent time maturing in Chinquapin oak.
This specialized barrel selection helped develop the whiskey's remarkable combination of toasted sweetness, mature oak, dark fruit, and chocolate complexity.
