What Is Bottled in Bond Bourbon?

[@TryinitwithOliver]

Are you kidding me? I am literally having a whiskey tasting party with bottled in bond tomorrow and I’m getting to explain this to whiskey beginners in a fun way thank you thank you thank

[@melissa7867]

Thank you Fred! Agree with your comment about Bernie Lubbers and interesting history on EH Taylor! Cheers! 🥃😊

[@buffalobeau6712]

Appreciate your breadth of knowledge and the way you create your content. Picked up your rise and fall and rebirth book after hearing you speak on a podcast, and now come to find out you are on KZbin. Subscribed and watching them all. Thanks Fred.

I keep going back to my favorite BIB, which is Early Times BIB. I have 4 bottles of the black cap Brown Forman version and 4 bottles of the blue cap version on my shelf currently, with one open in my liquor cabinet.

[@craigbenfield3047]

Bottled in Bond is a very important part of history. Because of it the average American consumer can they get a quality Bourbon at an affordable price. Heaven Hill leads by example offering a variety of great Bottled in Bonds.

[@OldFashionedWays]

thanks for history lesson. great info. cheers

[@gregharris5861]

Thanks, Fred! Just cracked open my Old Forester 1897.

[@philb6409]

Your “whiskey geek” impression sounded a bit like Cheech & Chong😂 great info as always; thank you! Early Times is a nice BiB.

[@FredMinnick]

I was going for a bro dude with a hint of Cheech and Chong. Sounds like I went too far into the cheech. hahaha

[@TryinitwithOliver]

I didn’t know Today was The Anniversary. This is so cool. You are my hero.

[@amealor63]

I love that Chattanooga has to releases of BiB each year. To me the best is Fall 2017, bottled Fall 2021. I have hunted for that bottle as much as I could. Tastes like delicious figs, honey, and tobacco.

[@thomashood3748]

Great presentation. Loved this.

[@paleggett1897]

BiB is an almost always go-to for a good-to-outstanding whiskey is you want to seek outside normal selections to expand your whiskey choices

[@byoregon1]

Super interesting Fred. Love these history lessons!

[@joryknowlton7574]

BiB is my kind of legislation!

[@earlalford7694]

This is a great video Fred love how you dig through history very interesting keep up the good work 💪

[@58lukum]

Evan Williams BiB is still a crushable bourbon. Inexpensive and still wonderful whiskey at that price and so findable.

Recently started getting into Tequila. I truly wish there was some sort of Bottled in Bond act for Tequila. You never know what bottles/brands use additives.

[@joryknowlton7574]

I'm not a tequila aficionado but I had a taste of cava de oro extra anejo recently and it was excellent. Have you tried it?

[@MusicKyle7]

@@joryknowlton7574 I have not! I’ll look for it. If you’re interested in some additive free tequilas Don Fulano is fantastic. it’s 100 proof and absolutely delicious. It’s what got me into tequila!

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

Maybe it's time to start lobbying the Mexican legislature. 🥃

[@douglaspendleton7689]

Rum is so complicated knowing what countries allow post distillation sugar and such.

[@motohead077]

Main reason why I always stick with American straight whiskey.

[@stuartrollings602]

Very interesting about the Col! Thanks for the overview!

[@C_H_1972]

Awesome video. What do you think about heat cycling? Is that rapid aging?

[@remander3873]

You just gave me the perfect reason to crack open my Taylor BiB bottle! Cheers, Fred! 🥃

[@douglaspendleton7689]

Same distilling season same distillery means blending is difficult with bib. Many distilleries are owned by a larger distilling entities.

[@truongkhue3451]

Is it right if I understood as below: So bottled in bond whiskey has to follow the rule that Rule 1: Distilled from the same class of materials means if batch A is made from 51% corn, and 49% barley batch B will be the same, right? Rule 2 means in the spring season they have 2 batches so these two have to be distilled by the same distiller at the same distillery. Rule 4: So the spirit was taken out from the barrel straight into the bottle. It wouldn't add water or chill-filtering. My English still has to practice so thank you everyone help me deal with these questions

[@motohead077]

No, that is not it. You misunderstood most of that. Water has to be added to proof it down to 100. It can not be any higher or lower.

So, EH Taylor was a normal human guy with normal guy interests and desires. Dang it. There goes my superhero theory.

[@stevecarbajal5178]

How was being 100 proof decided?
