Bomberger's PFG is a Kentucky straight bourbon in Michter's Legacy Series, first released in 2025. It matures first in new American oak, toasted and charred, then in a second new barrel of French fine grain oak, before Michter's batches it, filters it and bottles it at 100.2 proof (50.1% ABV).

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

Two barrels, both new. The bourbon begins in a new American oak barrel that has been toasted and charred, then moves to a second new barrel made to Michter's own design from French fine grain oak.

French oak of several origins. The staves of that second barrel blend wood of various origins, among them the Tronçais, Allier, Nevers and Vosges forests.

Seasoned outdoors in France. The wood dries in the open air for no less than 40 months near the Charente River, and the staves are picked by hand before coopering.

Heat and time, then char. Michter's controls both heat and time when it toasts each French barrel, and chars it only afterwards.

Batched, then filtered. Michter's empties the second barrels into small batches and runs each through its signature filtration before bottling at 100.2 proof.

A third Legacy whiskey. PFG joins Bomberger's Declaration and Shenk's Homestead in Michter's Legacy Series, and 2025 is its first year of release.

The Bomberger's Name

Legacy Series

Michter's traces its story to a Pennsylvania distillery: John Shenk, a Swiss Mennonite farmer, founded Shenk's distillery in 1753; it was renamed Bomberger's Distillery in the 1800s and became Michter's Distillery in the mid-20th century. The Legacy Series carries the two earlier names, with Shenk's Homestead, a sour mash whiskey, and Bomberger's Declaration, a 108-proof bourbon whose releases since 2018 have used Chinquapin oak. Master Distiller Dan McKee presents PFG as a further experiment under the Bomberger's name and credits its flavor to the team's work with wood. On the bottle, PFG carries the Bomberger's Declaration wordmark, with its own PFG panel on the front label.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Distiller notes & position

Sensory Profile

Mahogany red in the glass, by Michter's description, with burnt sugar, spice and chocolate on the nose before it opens to floral notes; fruit, spice and a toasty sweetness on the palate; and a full-bodied, creamy finish where soft spice and chocolate stay longest. Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson adds that herbaceous notes sit alongside the fruit.

Strategic Position

PFG is the lower-proof of the two Bomberger's bourbons, 100.2 against Declaration's 108, and they differ in wood: Declaration's releases draw on Chinquapin oak, PFG's second barrel is French. For a Michter's bourbon drawn from a single barrel, see Michter's ten-year single-barrel bourbon at 94.4 proof.

Records & Assurance

Production Methodology

Bomberger's PFG takes two new barrels. Michter's first ages the bourbon in American oak that has been toasted and charred, then moves it into a second barrel built from French fine grain oak to its own specification. Those staves, of various origins including the Tronçais, Allier, Nevers and Vosges forests, season in the open air near the Charente River for at least 40 months and are selected by hand before the barrels are toasted and charred. The finished whiskey is bottled at 100.2 proof, small batch by small batch, with the batch number completed on the label.
