Michter's Distillery Unveils Bomberger's PFG™ Bourbon: A New Standard in Whiskey Craftsmanship
Michter's Distillery Introduces Bomberger's PFG™ Kentucky Straight Bourbon
In a groundbreaking announcement, Michter’s Distillery has revealed the official launch of Bomberger's PFG™ Kentucky Straight Bourbon, marking a significant milestone in the legacy series of the brand. Set to debut in the year 2025, this innovative bourbon is a testament to Michter's commitment to exploring and pushing the boundaries of bourbon craftsmanship.
Master Distiller Dan McKee describes the Bomberger's PFG™ as an extension of the cherished Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon, celebrated for its rich and bold character. Through meticulous experimentation, Michter's aims to redefine what American whiskey can be. "This new release maintains that bold essence, while offering a stunning exploration of wood science and maturation techniques that enhances its flavour profile," McKee stated.
The production process of Bomberger's PFG™ showcases an intricate two-barrel aging method. Initially, the bourbon is matured in a specially crafted American oak barrel that has been toasted and charred to perfection. After reaching full maturation in this first barrel, the spirits are then transferred to a second barrel, crafted from French fine grain oak, which has been processed under stringent specifications. This unique finish is achieved using meticulously controlled temperatures and times for toasting, followed by selective charring. The second barrels encapsulate rich woods from renowned forests, such as Tronçais and Allier in France, creating an unparalleled environment for maturation.
These barrels are constructed from wood that has been naturally air-dried for an impressive minimum of 40 months. This aging outdoors, influenced by the climate near the Charente River in France, provides the wood with unique characteristics that are essential for the development of flavour in the bourbon. The end result of this elaborate production process is a whiskey that boasts a range of aromas, from confectionary to floral notes, coupled with a palate that presents beautifully integrated fruits and herbal undertones. This bourbon is intended to offer a luxurious, full-bodied experience with a creamy texture that lingers harmoniously with hints of soft spice and chocolate.
For bourbon enthusiasts, the suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle of Bomberger's PFG™ will be $140, reflecting the premium quality of its production. As part of the same legacy series that includes Shenk's and Bomberger's whiskeys, Michter's honors its Pennsylvania roots, a distillery originally founded in 1753 and subsequently renamed through the centuries to Michter’s in the 20th century.
Michter's Distillery continues to inspire bourbon lovers by enriching their collections with unique offerings like Bomberger's PFG™. The combination of tradition, innovation, and craftsmanship in each bottle expresses their dedication to producing genuinely remarkable whiskies.
