One Distiller

The term Bottled in Bond comes from the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, created to regulate the quality of American whiskeys. Before this act was passed whiskey sold as Straight American whiskey could be flavored and colored with additives and distilled with no regulatory guidelines.
The signage Bottled in Bond is used by distilleries as a term for authenticity; if a distillery produces Bottled in Bond whiskey, rest assured that that whiskey was made by them.
