Bomberger's Declaration 2019 Bourbon

Bomberger's Declaration 2019 — an annual limited release from Michter's Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, named for the Bomberger's Distillery that historically occupied the Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania site later known as Michter's. The Declaration series honors that Pennsylvania distilling legacy while drawing on the current Fort Nelson distillery's production in Louisville.

Bomberger's Declaration is produced as a premium annual expression by Michter's — distinct from the standard US*1 lineup in both pricing and production philosophy. The 2019 vintage represents the series at an early point in its development, now approaching a decade from its original release.

Tasting Notes
