Michter's Distillery Launches Innovative Bomberger's PFG™ Bourbon in 2025
Michter's Introduces Bomberger's PFG™
In a bold move, Michter's Distillery, renowned for its heritage in bourbon production, announces the launch of Bomberger's PFG™ (Precision Fine Grain) Kentucky Straight Bourbon in 2025. This marks a significant milestone as it represents the first release under the Bomberger's label in recent times. According to Dan McKee, the Master Distiller at Michter's, this innovative bourbon continues to push the boundaries of American whiskey while preserving the bold nature customers have come to expect from their flagship product, Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon.
The Art of Bourbon Production
The production of Bomberger's PFG™ is a meticulous process involving two distinct stages of aging. Initially, the bourbon is matured in new toasted and charred American oak barrels before being transferred to a second uniquely crafted barrel made of French fine grain oak. This second barrel is where the real magic happens; the wood is sourced from esteemed forests like Tronçais and Allier, and is air dried for a minimum of 40 months. The controlled environment near Charente River in France creates optimal conditions for seasoning, essential for developing the unique qualities of the resulting whiskey.
Every step is curated with precision, from the temperature range during the toasting phase to the specific duration of that toasting. The end goal is to achieve a bourbon that is rich in flavor and texture, engaging the palate with an array of delightful aromas and tastes.
Unique Flavor Profile
The craftsmanship involved in creating Bomberger's PFG™ results in a remarkable flavor spectrum, described by Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson as a blend of confectionary and floral aromas. The palate showcases beautifully integrated fruits alongside herbaceous notes, presenting a full-bodied experience. This luxurious bourbon concludes with a decadent, creamy texture that leaves a lingering finish of soft spice and chocolate.
At a bottled proof of 100.2 (50.1% ABV), Bomberger's PFG™ stands poised to engage seasoned bourbon aficionados as well as newcomers eager to explore. With a suggested retail price of $140 for a 750ml bottle, this bourbon represents not just a drink but an experience steeped in rich tradition and innovation.
A Testament to Heritage
Michter's legacy can be traced back to 1753 when it was originally founded as Shenk's Distillery in Pennsylvania, later renamed to honor the Bomberger family in the 1800s. This latest release embodies the distillery's commitment to honoring its historical roots while advancing its craft.
In the competitive bourbon market, Michter's stands out for its unwavering dedication to producing some of the highest quality whiskeys available. As they prepare to unveil Bomberger's PFG™, both whiskey lovers and collectors eagerly await the chance to experience this latest offering from one of America’s most revered distilleries.
