Michter`s Distillery
Michter`s Distillery
Originally known as Shenk`s and later as Bomberger`s, this whiskey company ultimately became known as Michter`s. It was founded by John Shenk in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, in 1753. In the mid-1800s, Pennsylvania Dutchman Abraham Bomberger bought the distillery and it was then known for many decades as Bomberger`s. After changing hands many times over the course of Prohibition, eventually Lou Forman created the Michter`s brand name by combining his sons` names, Michael and Peter. It is one of the oldest, and best Whiskey distilleries in the US.
