High West Bottled in Bond Bourbon

High West Bottled in Bond Bourbon — a straight bourbon whiskey produced under the strict federal standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, distilled at a single distillery in a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

The Bottled in Bond designation was America's first federal consumer protection law — created to guarantee authenticity in an era of adulterated whiskeys. For High West, it represents a commitment to transparency and craft: every bottle of Bottled in Bond Bourbon meets standards that predate Prohibition by more than two decades and remain among the most rigorous in American whiskey law.

Produced at High West's Wanship, Utah distillery, this bourbon is made entirely from High West's own distillate rather than sourced stock — making it one of the clearest expressions of what High West's own stills can produce. The 100-proof bottling strength delivers a full-bodied, assertive pour with the grain character, oak integration, and heat balance that the BiB standard demands.
