Description
Bottled in Bond is a designation that was created in 1897 by way of the Bottled in Bond Act. It was done to protect the integrity, quality and authenticity of aged whiskey in America, because people were adding all sorts of stuff to spirits at the time.

• The spirits must mature in a U.S. bonded warehouse for a minimum of four years
