Bottled in Bond

Bottled in Bond refers to a designation established by the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 in the United States, ensuring the authenticity and quality of certain spirits, particularly whiskey. To qualify, the spirit must be produced by one distiller at one distillery in a single distillation season, aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume). The label must specify the distillery and bottling location, as well as the season of distillation.
