Bomberger's Declaration (2025 Release)

Id call this pretty generic whiskey at best. I know its nas, but given the price and hype i was certainly expecting more, especially with a pro review score of 93 from a pro reviewer. Certainly not bad, but ecbp, knob 12 or frankly even rare breed are better than this for my pallet. It this was a $65 is bottle it go to 4 starts, but given the price and hype I'm gonna knock it back to 3. I will chamge.my score on the odd chance it opens up. To be fair, this is also been open only 4 weeks with 2 ounces since the crack. I wouldn't even buy this again at $50 but maybe in time (1 year @ half bottle it will get better)

Id call this pretty generic whiskey at best. I know its nas, but given the price and hype i was certainly expecting more, especially with a pro review score of 93 from a reviwer im usually in agreement with. Certainly not bad, but ecbp, knob 12 or frankly even rare breed are better than this for my pallet. It this was a $65 is bottle it go to 4 starts, but given the price and hype im gonna knock it back to 3. I will chamge.my score on the odd chance it opens up. To be fair, this is also my first taste of michters juice; wont be seeking out others...

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Notes of sweet corn bread and apple sauce with raisins. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice, and oaky dryness. Finish: Warm heat and a long length. Splash: The oaky notes come forward as the spicier cinnamon notes are calmed. Overall: 9.5/10 - I was lucky enough to come across a place that had several bottles within 10% of MSRP, and had to go back when I got paid. This absolutely lives up to the hype, and is every bit as good as I remember Bomberger's of past years. Outstanding!

Came with hype, and I understand why, but this was disappointing. I thought i had found something worth grabbing if you happen to see it, and next time I’ll pass. Nothing wrong with it, just generic, bland, no character, like a dish with no spice or flavor.

Good bourbon
