Michters Bombergers PFG – 2025 (750ml)

Description

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The year 2025 marks the first release of Bombergers PFG (Precision Fine Grain) Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The focus is to be precise at every step of the Bombergers PFG production process.

Bombergers 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 Bombergers PFG finishing barrel is a blend of wood from various origins, including the revered Tronais, 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 Bombergers PFG finishing barrels.

Legacy Series

In 1753, Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk founded Shenks distillery, which was later renamed Bombergers Distillery in the 1800s before having its name changed once again to Michters Distillery in the mid-20th Century. It is this great heritage that we honor with the release of Bombergers Declaration and Shenks Homestead which comprise our Michters Legacy Series.
