LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 28,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The year 2025 marks the first release of Bomberger's
PFG™ (Precision Fine Grain) Kentucky Straight
Bourbon. "Over the years, our flagship Bomberger's Declaration
Bourbon has always had a rich, bold nature that I love. This
new Bomberger's PFG™ release continues our efforts
to further experiment with Bomberger's and push the boundaries of
American whiskey. It's a wonderful expression with great texture
and a remarkable spectrum of rich, full flavors resulting from our
team's thoughtful exploration of wood science under very specific
conditions," commented Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee.
Bomberger's PFG™ is made by first aging Kentucky
Straight Bourbon in a new toasted and charred American oak barrel.
After full maturation, the Kentucky Straight Bourbon is removed
from the first barrel and placed in a second new, custom,
proprietary toasted and charred French fine grain oak barrel of the
most exacting specifications. These barrels are toasted at a
tightly defined temperature range for a precise period of time
before they receive a select charring. The whiskey is matured in
these second barrels before being dumped into small batches that
undergo our signature filtration prior to bottling at 100.2 proof
(50.1% ABV).
The Bomberger's PFG™ finishing barrel is a blend
of wood from various origins, including the revered Tronçais,
Allier, Nevers, and Vosges forests. It is constructed from wood
that has been naturally air dried outdoors for a minimum of 40
months in France near the Charente
River, which has a unique seasoning environment influenced by
humidity, microflora creation, climate, wind direction, and
elevation. After this seasoning, the staves are hand selected to
construct the Bomberger's PFG™ finishing
barrels.
The focus is to be precise at every step of the Bomberger's
PFG™ production process. Michter's Master of
Maturation Andrea Wilson remarked, "The result is a medley of
engaging aromas from confectionary to floral, a palate of
beautifully integrated fruits and herbaceous notes with a full body
and a luxurious, creamy texture that lingers with soft spice and
chocolate."
The suggested retail price in the U.S. for a 750ml bottle of
Bomberger's PFG™ is $140.
With its Shenk's and Bomberger's Legacy release whiskeys,
Kentucky Michter's honors the heritage of the Pennsylvania distillery founded as Shenk's in
1753 and renamed Bomberger's in the 1800's before becoming known as
Michter's in the 20th century.
