Shenk’s vs. Bomberger’s - 2025 Michter’s Legacy Series Whiskey Showdown!
from Bourbon Bytes Podcast · host Clifton McDaniel | Bourbon Bytes
It’s a head-to-head battle of Michter’s 2025 Legacy Series releases — the sweet and delicate Shenk’s Homestead (91.2 proof) vs. the bold and oaky Bomberger’s Declaration (108 proof). I break down their unique cask choices, share full nose/palate impressions, and crown my pick for the better buy. Plus, two distilleries step up big to support flood relief in Kentucky and Texas — proof that good bourbon can do good in the world.

What this episode covers
This week, I taste and compare Michter’s 2025 Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash and Bomberger’s Declaration Bourbon. Shenk’s brings a caramel-nuttiness with a lighter, sweeter profile, while Bomberger’s delivers rich oak, dark chocolate bitterness, and baking spice depth. Which one deserves a spot in your collection? I also highlight how J. Mattingly 1845 and Garrison Brothers are using whiskey sales to make a real difference in flood-hit communities.
