The Bottled in Bond Act, which was passed on March 3,1897, guaranteed the integrity of the whiskey to the American consumer, and among other things, guarantees only water can be added to the whiskey.
To mark the occasion, Buffalo Trace Distillery announced a single-barrel release of E.H. Taylor Jr. Bourbon hand selected by Chris Stapleton, the Grammy Award winner.
The barrel of E. H. Taylor, Jr. Bottled in Bond commemorative Chris Stapleton Single Barrel Bourbon is being donated to Stapleton’s charitable fund, Outlaw State of Kind. Each bottle will be autographed by Chris Stapleton and will be used to raise funds for a variety of charities across the country.
