HOT ! Curated Spotlight｜ Other Products ｜Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon Whiskey 2024

The 2024 Bomberger's Declaration is one of the two editions reviewers call basically flawless. Bomberger's is Michter's honoring its own past: the distillery John Shenk founded in Pennsylvania in 1753 became Bomberger's in the 1800s and Michter's in the 20th century before closing in the 1980s, and the resurrected Michter's in Shively, Kentucky now releases an annual Bomberger's Declaration in its Legacy Series. The hallmark is Chinquapin oak — Quercus muehlenbergii, a rare cousin of white oak that Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson has made the signature of the bottling — with the 2024 release continuing the tradition of bourbon aged in Chinquapin barrels made from staves air-dried for three years, far beyond the industry's usual six months, which strips harsh tannin and deepens the wood's sweetness and spice. Small batch, bottled at 108 proof. Beverage Dynamics, reviewing the 2025 edition, ranked it behind the 2024 and 2022 releases, calling those two essentially perfect; VinePair notes the bottle is a limited release that receives nationwide distribution but may take searching to find at retail. Expect the Chinquapin doing what it does: dark cherry and red fruit, rich baking spice, salted caramel, chocolate, and a floral lift over classic Kentucky vanilla and oak, with a round mouthfeel and a long, spicy finish that reads far more mature than the proof suggests. The Whiskey Ramble makes the case that Bomberger's is a better product than Michter's 10 Year, with or without factoring price. A collector's edition of the series' high-water mark.
