Detailed Description
“Given the historic nature of our distillery—and its National Historic Landmark status—it is only appropriate that one of the oldest distilleries in the country releases an expression in the oldest federal designation for bourbon,” said Master Distiller Chris Morris. The Bottled-in-Bond Act was first passed in 1897 as a seal of quality for bourbon being sold before FDA regulations for any consumables were commonplace. The law lays out the qualifiers for a bottled-in-bond whiskey in simple terms: distilled at the same distillery by the same Master Distiller in the same six-month distilling season, aged a minimum of four years in a government bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof.
