This 2025 release of Bombergers Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon continues the flavorful tradition of using bourbon aged in Chinquapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) oak. This years release uses barrels wherein the wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for different periods of time before undergoing our exacting toast and char specifications. The spectrum of barrels used have been seasoned for 18 months, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years thus changing the chemistry of the oaks contribution during aging. The result is a bold journey of flavor with chocolate, floral notes, berries, salted caramel, baking spice and many rich, decadent layers of complexity.
