The Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 was established to address the inconsistent quality of American whiskey in the late 1800s. To ensure authenticity and consistent standards, the United States government offered tax incentives to distilleries that met specific requirements. This designation requires spirits to pass rigorous criteria, including aging for at least four years and bottling at 100 proof (50% abv). The whiskey must be produced by one distiller at a single distillery in one season and aged in a bonded warehouse. I am proud to be one of the first Celebrity Brands to bring this authentically American Bourbon designation to the market.
