Bomberger's

By Velier

Bomberger's is produced by Michter's Distillery. The owners of Michter's, the Magliocco family, are originally from Sicily. Already creators of New York's most important distribution company, they then launched themselves into the production of bourbon, with a historic brand like Michter's.

After distillation in the traditional copper pot still and a passage through the copper column, the liquid is lowered in degree and put to age;
