It is a part of Michter's 'Legacy Series,' which honours the heritage of the historic Bomberger's Distillery in Pennsylvania. The name 'PFG' stands for Precision Fine Grain, which refers to the meticulous secondary cask aging process the whiskey undergoes. The first release of this expression was the 2025 batch, which launched in early 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bourbon is bottled without an age statement. It begins its maturation journey in a new toasted and charred American oak barrel. After full maturation, the bourbon is transferred for a secondary aging period in a new, custom, proprietary toasted and charred French fine grain oak barrel. This secondary cask is crafted from wood sourced from various revered French forests, including Tronçais, Allier, Nevers, and Vosges. The staves for these barrels are naturally air-dried outdoors for a minimum of 40 months to enhance the wood's unique characteristics before construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is described as a dark amber, and in some cases, a garnet or mahogany red. The nose features a medley of engaging aromas, ranging from confectionary notes like burnt sugar, brown butter, and crème brûlée to spicy and floral notes. The palate is full-bodied, beautifully integrated, and complex, with flavours of exquisite fruit (like cherry and mixed berry compote) and spice, surrounded by toasty, sweet notes. It often exhibits a syrupy mouthfeel and a balance of dark chocolate, cocoa, and rich oak. The finish is full-bodied, luxurious, and creamy, with lingering soft spice and chocolate. It is bottled at 100.2 proof, or 50.1% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inaugural release of the Bomberger's PFG Bourbon has received high praise from reviewers, indicating a successful and intentional use of the French oak finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt earned a score of 94\/100 from \u003cem\u003eVinePair\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt received a score of 90\/100 from \u003cem\u003eWhisky Saga\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is considered by some to be a masterful execution of French oak influence that elevates the bourbon without masking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complex, rich, and wood-forward profile of this bourbon is designed for sipping and complements bold flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSavoury:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair it with smoked brisket, grilled steak, or a charcuterie board featuring aged cheeses and cured meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDessert:\u003c\/strong\u003e The creamy, sweet, and chocolate notes pair exceptionally well with rich desserts such as pecan pie or a dark chocolate torte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Due to its elegance and balance, it is highly recommended for sipping neat to fully appreciate its nuanced transformation from the custom French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"300040 - Charton-Hobbs Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42411274895447,"sku":"136526","price":291.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Michter_s-Bomberger_s-PFG.jpg?v=1765856872","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/michters-bombergers-pfg%e2%84%a2-precision-fine-grain-bourbon","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
