One Distiller
To be considered Bottled in Bond the spirit must be a product of one distillation season and one distiller from one distillery.
Grain, yeast, water, oak, and time: these are the only ingredients needed to make award winning whiskey. Along with our recipes, our distillers are hands-on from beginning to end to ensure that our whiskey is excellent. We take our time to make sure that we deliver whiskeys that embody the true spirit of Oregon.
Straight American Bourbon Whiskey
Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon Whiskey is a four grain bourbon made with corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. This whiskey is made and aged for four years on site in Bend, Oregon. After four years of maturation in new American white oak barrels, the barrels are married and a touch of water is added to bring our whiskey to 94 proof. Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon stays true the sweet corn-on-the-cob nature of bourbon with a spicy cinnamon twist from the rye grain.

Bottled in Bond Whiskeys
The Bottled In Bond Act of 1897 was created to regulate the quality of American whiskeys. Before this act was passed, whiskey had few regulatory guidelines and was often adulterated with additives and colorants.
After the act was passed, distilleries could label their whiskey as Bottled In Bond if it met specific criteria.
Oregon Spirit Distillers Bottled In Bond
American Whiskey has of course become far more regulated since 1897. Present day Bottled In Bond whiskeys use the term to signify a true grain to bottle product. Every Oregon Spirit Bottled In Bond barrel is carefully selected by our distillers, and is bottled and stamped with its unique barrel code to showcase what makes that particular barrel a part of our single barrel program.
These special, limited releases are available in our tasting room, Oregon liquor stores as well as all Total Wine locations throughout the United States.
