Tasting Notes

Bomberger’s Declaration Small Batch Bourbon pays homage to the heritage of one of America’s earliest distilleries, offering a bold, well-aged Kentucky profile. The nose opens with deep aromas of caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla balanced by dark fruit and baking spice. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, delivering flavors of toffee, dried cherry, and cocoa layered with warm spice, roasted nuts, and a touch of leather. The texture is dense and oily, carrying into a long, warming finish with lingering oak, sweet malt, and peppery spice.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with smoked almonds, charcuterie with spiced salami, or prosciutto-wrapped figs. For a main course, it complements grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or roasted duck with a cherry glaze. In the cheese course, aged gouda, blue cheese, or sharp cheddar stand up to its intensity. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate truffles, pecan pie, or bread pudding with bourbon sauce.
