Bottled in bond is a label for an American-made distilled beverage, usually whiskey, that has been aged and bottled according to a set of legal regulations contained in the US government’s Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits. It was put in place as a government-backed guarantee of a product’s quality and authenticity at a time when adulteration of spirits was relatively common.

To be labeled as bottled in bond or bonded:

• The spirit must be the product of one distillation season by one distiller at one distillery.
• It must have been aged in a federally bonded warehouse under US government supervision for at least four years and bottled at 100 (US) proof (50% alcohol by volume).
• The bottled product’s label must identify the distillery where it was distilled and, if different, where it was bottled.
• Only spirits produced in the United States may be designated as bonded.
