"Bottled-in-Bond is a mark of quality. In the end of the 1800's, just like today, there were a lot of brands with questionable provenance. Bottled-in-Bond was created to give consumers confidence that the whiskey they were drinking was bonafide. Today, it is increasingly used by craft producers to showcase true farm to glass provenance: it must be at least 4 years old, distilled in a single season by a single distiller and bottled at “proof” - 50% ABV. We have a number of casks that are ready for our first ever Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. We are bottling these casks one at a time. At 100 proof, this bourbon is very full bodied and rich. Big and bold at the outset with prominent caramel and stone fruit, with that trademark roasted finish of Van Brunt Bourbon. The finish is long and lingering. This whiskey is just what you need as you gather on your stoop with your friends this winter."
