At the heart of the Bottled in Bond designation lies a commitment to excellence and craftsmanship. Here’s why this label so revered and why it’s a must-have for discerning enthusiasts.

1. Aged to Perfection: To earn the Bottled in Bond label, a spirit must undergo an extensive aging process spanning at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under the vigilant supervision of the U.S. government. This meticulous process allows the spirit to develop a complex and sophisticated flavor profile and a rich character that can only be achieved with time.

2. Single Season, Single Distillery: Bottled in Bond is distinguished by its exclusivity. The spirit must be the result of a single distillation season, crafted by a single distiller at a single distillery. This rigorous requirement guarantees uniformity and purity in each bottle, reflecting the skill and knowledge of the distiller behind the product.

3. Proof of Quality: Bottled in Bond isn’t just about aging; it’s also about strength. The spirit must be bottled at precisely 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume), showcasing its robust flavor profile and uncompromising quality. This standard ensures that each sip delivers a bold and memorable experience.
