Get you some of those award-winning pre-Prohibition flavors.

Once upon the pre-Prohibition times, Bond & Lillard was a famous Whiskey. It was first distilled in 1820 in Anderson County in Kentucky by John Bond who was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. The Grand Prize that the Whiskey received at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis tells you this was an esteemed brand back in the day. At least according to the expert judges at the fair who said: “Real delicacy of flavor, beauty in the sparkle and superiority in strength. Bears no equal.” Now that is some review.

Today, Bond & Lillard is distilled at Wild Turkey not too far away from the original distillery. Part of Campari’s America’s Whiskey Barons Collection that brings back old precious recipes that got lost in time, making this Whiskey takes some real detective work; studying all the old tasting notes, conducting interviews… For the first batch of Bold & Lillard, which was the first release in the series, they used the tasting notes from the judges at the World’s Fair in 1904.

Bond & Lillard Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch No.2 is the second batch of Bold & Lillard. After new vintage bottlings from the 1920s were found, Wild Turkey's Master Distiller Eddie Russell went back and recreated the expression once again. It brings you the smoky, woody, and fruity flavors people enjoyed so much in the pre-Prohibition days. That this is a very limited-bottling probably goes without saying.

Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
