What makes this whisky so special? Well, to start off it’s the latest to join the brand’s award-winning Bottled in Bond series led by Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. General Manager and Distiller, Nicole Austin, and follows George Dickel Bottled in Bond Spring 2007, Aged 13 Years winning Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and receiving a score of 95 at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge this year. It’s also a Bottled in Bond Whisky, and as you may know, the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was enacted in order to help guarantee a spirit’s authenticity and level of quality. In today’s world where consumers are craving more and more transparency, Bottled in Bond spirits are starting to make more of a resurgence.
To be labeled as Bottled in Bond, a spirit must be aged and bottled according to a special set of regulations from the U.S. Government that includes:
- Be the product of one distillation season by one distillery (George Dickel Bottled in Bond has been distilled by Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. at Cascade Hollow Distillery, DSP-TN-2, during the fall season of 2008)
- Be stored in oak containers a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision (George Dickel Bottled in Bond was stored at Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, TN) for at least four years (13 years old)
- Be bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) and reduced in proof only by the addition of water to not less than 100 proof
