In 1897, The federal government stepped in with the first consumer protection law. This act ensured that any whiskey bearing the name “Bottled-in-Bond” was produced by the same distiller, at the same distillery, during the same distilling season, aged for at least four years, unadulterated (except for water), and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

These regulations gave assurance to the consumers they were drinking unadulterated whiskey, and helped define the very American whiskeys we know and love today.

Enjoy our humble offering to this storied tradition with this straight rye whiskey, made with a blend of 95% rye and 5% malted barley.
