Quality, guaranteed

The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 established a rigorous set of requirements to guarantee quality for this whiskey designation, and they are still required of distillers today. Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond goes beyond these requirements to craft an exceptionally high-quality bourbon.

Bottled-in-Bond Requirements
Bottled-in-Bond Requirements

To be labeled as Bottled-in-Bond, a whiskey must:

  • Be distilled at the same distillery
  • Consist of the same spirits and class of materials
  • Be the product of one distillation season (running from either January - June or July - December)
  • Be aged at least four years in wooden containers in a bonded government warehouse under U.S. government supervision
  • Have proof reduced by pure water only
  • Be bottled at exactly 100 proof
  • Bear the name and number of the Distilled Spirits Plant (D.S.P.) where the spirit was produced, and, if different, the D.S.P. of the bottling facility

Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond embodies the same values that gave rise to the BIB act: the desire for quality, transparency, and crafting the finest bourbon possible, especially if it means extra time and effort. Well, this premium bourbon waits 7 years for just the right barrels to mature (3 more than the BIB standard requires).

Diligently-Selected Barrels
Diligently-Selected Barrels

With a vast universe of barrels (nearly 70 rickhouses across 7 sites), Heaven Hill Distillery can afford to be extremely selective about which barrels they pick, choosing only the best barrels from a single distilling season and refusing to bottle anything that falls short of their top-notch quality standards.
