Be grateful you didn't drink whiskey prior to 1897, when the Bottled-in-Bond Act was enacted to guarantee lack of then-highly prevalent counterfeit whiskey and adulteration; it seems that consumers didn't care for formaldehyde or prune juice in their whiskey—imagine! Crafted to meet federal standards, including minimum aging of four years in a government-supervised warehouse and bottling at exactly 100 proof, 1792's Bottled in Bond offers a true, consistent snapshot of traditional bourbon-making, delivering layers of butterscotch, Tahitian vanilla, caramel apple and toasty oak. This is both smooth and structured, suiting it well for new and experienced bourbon drinkers alike.
