Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Chocolate leads in this bourbon: milk and dark chocolate arrive on a bold, full-bodied palate, balanced by a delicate hint of peach and a backbone of toasted oak and spice. At 108 proof it carries real strength, yet it shows a distinctively smooth character, which makes it a considered pick for the bourbon drinker who values depth. The story adds to the gift. The name honors Bomberger's, a distillery of the 1800s that later became Michter's. For this release, Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson selected the barrels, which were built from wood naturally air-dried for over three years. Give it for a promotion, a milestone birthday, or Father's Day, to someone who likes to linger over a glass. They can sip it neat, add a few drops of water, or let a large ice cube slowly open the layers of chocolate, fruit, and spice. The long, warm finish of cinnamon and ripe peach rewards an unhurried evening.
