Introducing Bomberger's PFG™: A New Milestone in Bourbon
Michter's Distillery has once again made waves in the world of whiskey with the debut of Bomberger's PFG™ (Precision Fine Grain) Kentucky Straight Bourbon. This innovative release captures the essence of traditional bourbon-making while raising the art of whiskey production to new heights. Michter's Master Distiller, Dan McKee, expressed excitement about this addition to their legacy series, noting that it builds on the rich character of their flagship Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon.
Craftsmanship Behind Bomberger's PFG™
The meticulous production process of Bomberger's PFG™ begins with aging Kentucky Straight Bourbon in a newly crafted American oak barrel that undergoes both toasting and charring. Upon the completion of this initial aging, the bourbon transitions to a second proprietary barrel made of French fine grain oak. This bourbon's finishing barrel comes from select wood sourced from prestigious forests in France, including Tronçais, Allier, Nevers, and Vosges, ensuring an exceptional flavor profile.
Precision in Production
The production team ensures that every element of the process is executed with precision. The French oak barrels used for finishing are seasoned in a climate-rich environment that contributes to the final product's unique characteristics. They undergo an intricate process where the wood air-dries for over 40 months, allowing it to develop the necessary flavor complexities. Michter's Master of Maturation, Andrea Wilson, reflects on this craft, describing a medley of aromas and a luxurious mouthfeel as central aspects of this bourbon.
A Unique Flavor Profile
Bomberger's PFG™ is characterized by a robust array of flavors derived from its unique production process. The bourbon boasts intricate notes ranging from confectionary sweetness to floral hints, accompanied by a creamy texture and a touch of spice. The result is a truly layered whiskey that delights the senses and entrances bourbon enthusiasts.
