Bonded

 Bonded whiskey, or bottled-in-bond is a category of whiskey with certain legal criteria.  A bonded whiskey must be made by the same master distiller in the same distilling season, must be barreled for four years in a bonded warehouse, and must be bottled at 100 proof.  The word BONDED on a whiskey bottle means something.

The Buffalo Trace distillery has a line of economy whiskey called Benchmark.  lower-shelf stuff. And yes, it comes in a Bonded version  I picked a bottle up today. $19.99 for a 750 ml bottle.

We'll crack this one open for Happy Hour this afternoon.  I'll bet that it will make a good mixer with Coke.
