Bomberger’s Declaration Bourbon 2022 is produced by Michter’s at its Kentucky distillery. Bottled at 108 proof, it has an annual batch size of about 2,000 bottles. The bourbon is aged for 5 to 6 years in heat-cycled warehouses, with some portion aged in Chinquapin Oak barrels that are air-dried for 36 months before toasting and charring. The mashbill is likely made of 80% corn, 15% rye and 5% malted barley.
The flavor follows much in the same vein, but brings a current of old leather to the whiskey, giving it a generally hoary character that offsets its otherwise cookie-like aspects.
