On the anniversary of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897⌠itâs fitting to review a bottled in bond bourbon.
You might not yet have heard of Old Glory Distilling, but based on whatâs in my glass⌠itâs probably time that you familiarize yourself with them. Theyâve been putting out their younger and lower proof whiskeys for a few years, but now have bottled in bond⌠and this is delicious! Theyâve been entering their younger stuff in the ACSA competition for a few years, but this bottled in bond just took their highest medal⌠and itâs hard to argue against it.
This is really good bourbon that is rather balanced on all fronts. I think the MSRP is quite fair.
