BEHIND BOTTLED IN BOND WITH HEAVEN HILL

7:15 pm - GINKO

American Whiskey is one of the most tightly regulated spirit categories in the world. Bourbon and Rye must meet strict standards to earn their names, and some bottles go even further. When you see "Bottled in Bond" on a label, you're looking at a whiskey held to one of the highest benchmarks of quality and transparency.

What exactly does "Bottled in Bond" mean? In this seminar, we’ll break down the requirements behind the designation, how bottles earn the title, and why it’s been a trusted mark of integrity since 1897.

Join Todd Richman, National Whiskey Ambassador for Heaven Hill, for a deep dive into one of American whiskey’s most important distinctions.
