Bottled in Bond Bourbon

(25 products)

Bottled in bond is one of the few quality guarantees written into U.S. law. Every bottle is 100 proof, aged at least four years, and made by one distiller at one distillery in one distilling season.

The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was created to protect drinkers from adulterated whiskey. To earn the label, a bourbon must be the product of a single distilling season, made by one distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. The label must also name the distillery where it was made.

For drinkers, that adds up to a reliable formula: enough age for real oak character, enough proof for flavor to hold up neat or in a cocktail, and usually a fair price. Bottled in bond bourbons are some of the best values on the shelf and a favorite of bartenders for Old Fashioneds and Manhattans.
