No one likes rules and regulations but we’re allowed to enjoy great whiskey today thanks to the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. The Act refers to American-made liquor that has been aged and bottled according to a set of legal regulations contained in the United States government’s standards of identity for distilled spirits specifically Whiskey.

To be labeled as Bottled-in-Bond or Bonded, the liquor must be the product of one distillation season (January to December) and one distiller at one distillery. It must have been aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume). The bottled product’s label must identify the distillery where it was distilled and, if different, where it was bottled. Only spirits produced in the United States may be designated as bonded.

This very Act is the foundation behind the concept for our Cocktail Parlour & Kitchen allowing people to experience the thriving era of craft cocktails and American Whiskey in a unique atmosphere.
