Michters Bombergers PFG Bourbon Whiskey

Bomberger's PFG is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Michter's Legacy Series, named after Bomberger's, the 19th-century distillery that went on to become Michter's. PFG stands for Precision Fine Grain: after ageing in a new toasted and charred American oak barrel, the bourbon is finished in a second new, custom-made French fine grain oak barrel, toasted and charred to a tightly defined specification.

The finishing barrels are built from hand-selected staves sourced from French forests including Tronçais, Allier, Nevers and Vosges, air-seasoned outdoors for at least 40 months. Bottled at 50.1% ABV, it shows a mahogany red colour, with burnt sugar, spice and chocolate on the nose opening up to floral notes. The palate is complex and well integrated, with fruit, spice and toasty, sweet notes, leading to a full-bodied, creamy finish of soft spice and chocolate.
