Bomberger's Declaration 2024 Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is the newest release in the limited-edition small-batch series from Michter’s Distillery, honoring one of the oldest bourbon brands in American history. The 2024 edition continues the brand’s tradition of innovation and craftsmanship by once again incorporating Chinquapin oak barrels, air-dried for three years before charring—a process that enhances spice, depth, and complexity. Bottled at a robust 108 proof (54% ABV), this year’s batch showcases bold flavor with refined balance, delivering layers of rich caramel, toasted oak, and vibrant spice.
