1792: Bottled In Bond

Written By Ashley Hunt

1792 Bottled in Bond at The Hardware Store

 

A true relic of American distilling heritage, the 1972 Bottled in Bond Whiskey captures the spirit of a bygone era. Distilled and aged under the strict standards of the Bottled in Bond Act, this rare expression offers unmatched authenticity—crafted in a single season, by a single distiller, and aged a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse. At 100 proof, it delivers bold flavor with remarkable balance: rich oak, dark caramel, warm spice, and a whisper of tobacco. This is more than whiskey—it’s a piece of American history, bottled.
