The



KY Bourbon Wish 
list continues to grow.

Longer it goes on?
Bigger it gets.
Just the way it works honey.

In fact?
It's not a wish list any more.
It's the, 
"It's about to happen" list.

In fact?
It should be called the:

"Going to wherever the fuck I want
and getting whatever I choose list"


 at this point 
:-).




115 Proof?
Oh hell yeah.




To be "Bottled in Bond" 
a bourbon must be crafted: 
by one distiller 
at a single distillery 
and crafted over one single distillation season.

If it's from KY?
And it's Bottled in Bond?
You won't be disappointed.




Barrel proof?
And it's a "wheater?"

Oh hell yeah..



Always heard good things.




See the note about Bottled in Bond" earlier.



And again one more time for good measure.


"To be labeled as bottled-in-bond or bonded, 
the liquor must be:
 the product of one distillation season 
(January–June or July–December) 
by one distiller 
at one distillery. 
It must have been aged in a federally bonded warehouse 
under U.S. government supervision 
for at least four years 
(Most are 6-8 seems like) 
and bottled at 100 (U.S.) 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.

Some consumers consider the term to be an endorsement of quality,
(Yep)
 while many producers consider it archaic and do not use it.
However, because bottled-in-bond whiskey must be the product of one distillation season, 
one distillery, and one distiller – whereas ordinary straight whiskey may be a product of the mingling of straight whiskeys (of the same grain type) with differing ages and producers within a single state – it may be regarded as a better indication of the distiller's skill
making it similar in concept to a single malt whisky, 
(The only kind I ever liked)
 small batch whiskey,
(Yep)
 or single barrel whiskey. 
(Works as well)
Bonded whiskeys are also valued for their higher-than-usual alcohol content (100 proof rather than the more typical 80–90 proof), 
(Nah...Really? Who knew?)
 as this means the product contains a less diluted spirit, 
typically corresponding to more flavor.
(Yeppers, works).


Were up to 20 bottles now BTW.

I love you lucy.
