Behold, the release of Bomberger's Declaration Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey! This expression is created by the Michter's team, as an homage to the Pennsylvania-based distillery which was originally called the Bomberger Distillery, though changed its name to Michter's in the 1970s. Later, in the 1990s, that distillery would close, but Michter's would be back, now in Kentucky, making some excellent whiskeys.

The nose is a multi-faceted, complex sweetness driven by baked, dried citrus and peaches, with some brightness from fruit rind that substitutes for the spiciness you would expect from cinnamon or mint. Woodsy and bitter notes of leather and oak appear in the most gentle manner. The heat is soothing and welcoming with less of a minty peppery drive and more bready baking spices. The finish continues the theme, with soft, nutty, spiced baked goods, lingering on the maltiness of buttered rolls.
