Bourbon producer Bulleit Frontier Whiskey has announced the release of its first Bottled-in-Bond expression. 

The seven-year-old whiskey was distilled at the Bulleit Distilling Company and matured entirely onsite at the distillery. The whiskey was distilled in 2017, the same year that the distillery opened in Shelbyville, Kentucky.

The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires whiskeys using this labelling term to be the product of one 'distillery season' by one distiller at a single distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). 

Delicia James, lead whiskey blender at Bulleit owner Diageo, commented: "Introducing our first Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, made entirely at the Bulleit Distilling Company, is a proud achievement for our team. With our signature high-rye mash bill and seven years of aging under Bottled-in-Bond standards, this bourbon delivers a richness and complexity we're excited to share. It's a whiskey that truly showcases the best of what we do here in Shelbyville — bold, balanced, and crafted with care."

In another recent 'first', Bulleit added an American single malt whiskey to its line-up in 2024. American single malt whiskey was recognised as an official whiskey category under federal law at the end of 2024, a change which came into action early in 2025.

On its Bottled-in-Bond expression, Bulleit said the whiskey would be a limited release, with the frequency of future releases determined by its blending team.

Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond (50% ABV) will be available nationwide in the US from February 2025, with an SRP of US$54.99.
