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.
