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 iTunes, Android 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 Book of the week: Bourbon Whiskey Our Native Spirit: Sour Mash and Sweet Adventures 2nd Edition by Bernie Lubbers Cocktail of the
