Brand History

Bomberger's Bourbon is a distinguished Kentucky brand with deep historical roots that date back to one of America's oldest distilleries. Named after the historic Bomberger's Distillery (later known as Michter's Distillery), Bomberger's Bourbon carries forward a legacy of excellence, craftsmanship, and tradition that spans more than two centuries.

The original Bomberger's Distillery was established in the mid-18th century in Pennsylvania and became a key player in America's early whiskey-making history. Over time, it gained a reputation for producing high-quality rye and bourbon whiskeys. However, the brand relocated to Kentucky, where bourbon culture runs deep, and where it is now revived under the stewardship of the Michter's Distillery team.

Bomberger's Bourbon reflects a dedication to producing small-batch, handcrafted spirits that honor the tradition of the original distillery. The bourbon is made using a meticulous production process that combines traditional methods with modern innovation. The mash bill typically includes a high proportion of corn, alongside rye and malted barley, creating a balanced profile with rich sweetness and spice. The bourbon is aged in charred American oak barrels, which impart a depth of flavor, caramelized notes, and a distinct smoothness.

The limited-edition releases of Bomberger’s Bourbon have garnered attention for their complexity and craftsmanship. Each bottle is a reflection of careful blending, ensuring that the bourbon retains its characteristic balance of boldness and refinement. Bomberger's tends to produce a robust, full-bodied whiskey with flavors of vanilla, toffee, dark fruit, and baking spices, accompanied by a rich oak influence from the barrels.

Bomberger's Bourbon, much like Michter's, is committed to quality over quantity, producing only a limited number of bottles each year. This rarity, combined with the brand's historic roots, makes Bomberger's Bourbon highly sought after by whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike.

In many ways, Bomberger’s Bourbon is a tribute to America’s whiskey heritage, representing the rich traditions of Kentucky bourbon-making while honoring the legacy of one of the country’s most historic distilleries. Each bottle of Bomberger’s Bourbon tells a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and the enduring spirit of American whiskey-making.
