Bomberger's PFG (Precision Fine Grain) Kentucky Straight Bourbon will be released for the first time in 2025.
"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." ~ Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee.
First, Kentucky Straight Bourbon is aged in a brand-new, charred and toasted American oak barrel to create Bomberger's PFG. Following complete maturity, the Kentucky Straight Bourbon is taken out of the first barrel and put into a second, brand-new, exclusive barrel that is charred and roasted in French fine grain oak and meets the strictest requirements. These barrels undergo a specific charring process after being roasted for a predetermined amount of time at a strictly regulated temperature range. These second barrels are used to mature the whiskey before it is poured into tiny batches and filtered using an exclusive method before being bottled at 100.2 proof (50.1% ABV).
The wood used in the Bomberger's PFG finishing barrel comes from a variety of sources, including the venerable forests of the Tronçais, Allier, Nevers, and Vosges. It is built from wood that has been air-dried outdoors for at least 40 months in the Charente River region of France, which has a special seasoning environment influenced by elevation, humidity, climate, wind direction, and the development of microflora. The staves used to build the Bomberger's PFG finishing barrels are hand-picked following this seasoning.
"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." ~ Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson
For 750ml bottles of Bomberger's PFG, the recommended retail price in the United States is $140.
