Warm up with these bottled-in-bond whiskeys this fall
Bottled-in-bond whiskey is a great sipper for fall
Whiskey in a glass next a person

We look for whiskeys with a little more oomph when autumn rolls around. And by that, we mean higher alcohol content to warm our bones on those chilly fall evenings. Cask-strength whiskey does the trick, but sometimes we don’t want to sip a 160-proof spirit. That’s why we believe that bottled-in-bond whiskey is the perfect fall spirit if you’re looking for the sweet spot between warming and balanced.

For those unaware of the term, bottle-in-bond whiskeys must fit a few criteria. It all goes back to the late 1800s when Congress passed the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 to protect consumers and distillers from counterfeit whiskey. It’s not just a random phrase that distillers slap on a bottle. To be considered a bottled-in-bond whiskey, it must be matured for at least four full years in a federally bonded warehouse, it must be bottled at exactly 100-proof and produced at a single distillery in a single distilling season. Now, let's take a look at some examples of the best bottled-in-bond whiskey on the market.
