Browse our full range of Michters here!
A little background about the prize: Bomberger's Bourbon honours the legacy of the former distillery known as Bomberger's in the 1800's and later as Michter's in the 20th Century. This is a small batch product with a rich, sweet, fruity, and bold flavour profile due to the fact that a small portion of the whiskey spent time in Chinquapin oak, a species of oak that imparts strong character.
Heaven's Door is an award-winning collection of handcrafted American whiskeys co-created with iconic musician and artist, Bob Dylan. The Straight Rye expression breaks with tradition by finishing in toasted "Cigar Barrels", air-dried in the low-lying mountain region of Vosges, France. This proprietary finishing results in a smoother, approachable rye with notes of orange peel, coriander, and spice.
ABV: 43% | €102.00
