Bottled in bond

A designation for American-made distilled beverages that meet specific legal requirements regarding distillation, aging, proof, and labeling. This designation ensures that the spirit is the product of one distillation season, one distiller, and one distillery, aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof. Bottled in bond spirits are primarily targeted at consumers who value authenticity, quality, and regulatory assurance in their alcoholic beverages.
