Bernie Lubbers is the National Whiskey Brand Ambassador at Heaven Hill Distilleries.  He tells us exactly what it takes for a Whiskey (or other Spirit) to be labeled as "Bonded in Bond".  

Also we speak with Jacob Ehrenkrona and taste the delicious Martin Miller's 9 Moons Gin.

It's the Bartender Journey Podcast Number 184.  Listen with the audio player on this page, or subscribe on iTunesAndroid or Stitcher Radio.

For a spirit to be labeled "Bottled In Bond" it must be:
  • Composed of the same type of spirits and produced from the same class of materials
  • Produced in a single distilling season by one distiller at one distillery
  • Stored for at least 4 years in wooden containers
  • Reduced in proof with by the addition of only pure water to exactly 100 proof
  • The label must bear the real name of the distillery and the plant number where it was produced and where it was bottled

  • Long “ribbon” of lemon peel
  • Directions

    Toast of the Week:
    May you…

    Work like you don’t need the money,

    love like you’ve never been hurt,

    dance like no-one is watching,

    screw like it’s being filmed,

    and drink like a true Irishman.
