Produced under the strict standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this bold new chapter in the Bulleit portfolio reflects the precision, patience, and innovation that have become hallmarks of the brand. Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond embodies the brand’s signature high-rye mash bill delivering a bold, distinctive flavor.

Bottled in Bond bourbon is highly sought after for several reasons:

1. Quality Assurance: The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 established strict regulations for the production of certain spirits, including bourbon. To qualify as bottled in bond, the bourbon must be produced in a single distillation season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged for at least four years in a new charred oak barrel, and bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume). This ensures a consistent and high-quality product.

2. Historical Significance: The Bottled in Bond Act was a response to concerns about the quality and safety of spirits during the late 19th century. As a result, bottled in bond bourbons carry a sense of tradition and heritage, appealing to consumers who appreciate the history behind their spirits.

3. Flavor Profile: The requirements for bottled in bond bourbons often lead to a richer and more complex flavor profile. The higher proof and the aging process contribute to a depth of flavor that many enthusiasts find appealing.

4. Collectibility: Many bottled in bond bourbons are produced in limited quantities or by craft distilleries, making them collectible items. Bourbon enthusiasts often seek out unique or rare expressions, and bottled in bond offerings can be particularly desirable.

5. Transparency: The regulations surrounding bottled in bond bourbons provide consumers with a level of transparency regarding the product’s origin and production process. This can build trust and confidence in the quality of the spirit.

6. Cultural Resurgence: In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in craft spirits and traditional production methods. Bottled in bond bourbons fit well within this trend, attracting both new consumers and seasoned bourbon aficionados.

Overall, the combination of quality, historical significance, flavor, collectibility, transparency, and cultural relevance makes bottled in bond bourbon a sought-after choice among whiskey lovers.
