Bomberger's Declaration 2021 Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) continues the legacy of one of America’s oldest bourbon brands, delivering a limited-edition small batch expression that showcases rich depth, bold flavor, and exceptional craftsmanship. Produced by Michter’s Distillery, the 2021 release utilizes heavily charred new American white oak barrels, with a portion of the bourbon aged in special chiseled and charred barrels, which help increase wood exposure and intensify flavor extraction. Bottled at a robust 108 proof (54% ABV), this release offers a well-rounded balance of spice, sweetness, and oak-driven complexity.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Bomberger’s 2021 is an outstanding choice for bourbon enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate tradition and power in every pour.
