What Defines This Bottle
Bottled-in-Bond
A federally regulated designation; single distiller, single season, aged at least 4 years, bottled at exactly 100 proof; layered on top of an underlying recipe rather than describing one of its own.
Governed by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 (27 CFR § 5.42): single distiller, single distillery, single distillation season, aged at least 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof. This site's own catalog records one proof designation per bottle, so a real-world Bottled-in-Bond release that also happens to be barrel-proof-labeled may only surface here under one of the two designations -- see How to Read a Label and the Proof & Dilution Calculator for how a fixed 100-proof requirement compares to standard and barrel-proof bottling.

- Cooperage
- Charred New American White Oak (53-gallon barrels, Char #4 standard).
- Warehouse Notes
- Barrels age in non-climate-controlled metal-clad warehouses in the Great Basin desert. The extreme diurnal temperature swings (often fluctuating 40–50°F in a single day) force the whiskey aggressively in and out of the barrel staves while driving dry-climate concentration.
