Bomberger's Declaration 2022 Release Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)

A label that debuted in 2015, paying homage to one of Bourbon's lost brands. It's produced by Michter's. They don't declare the age and mash bill, but it's likely above ten years old. There are multiple batches released simultaneously, once per year, and each batch is made up of around 1000-3000 bottles, so that's roughly equivalent to Michter's own label releases. A fraction has been imported to Australia with 1234 bottles representing the current batch. It should be noted that what we actually receive may vary without notice, so those numbers can't be relied upon. 54% Alc.Vol.

Other reviews... Bomberger’s has once again nailed the landing with this year’s release...  If you like the rich, oaky tastes of Knob Creek Single Barrel (especially the ones that were 13-15 years old) but without the nutty tastes, this one is for you.  If you like Russell’s Reserve Single Barrels because of the manageable proof and complimentary spice, this one is for you.  If you like Old Forester 1920, 1910 or Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, you’ll find many of the similar oak and spice-forward flavors here as well.  This year’s Bomberger’s stays more-or-less on the same level as last year’s release in terms of how good it is.  The main difference between the two seems to be the large amount of chocolate notes that could be found.  This is something that I think anyone would enjoy and makes this a top-notch bourbon.  Michter’s seems to really pour their heart and soul into this bottle yet I still have this feeling that it is undervalued among enthusiasts.  Please note, I’m not saying it’s undervalued on the secondary market so please don’t raise the value of this anymore, taters! - thebourbonculture.com
