On Tuesday, Kentucky whiskey brand Woodford Reserve announced the release of Wheat Whiskey Bottled in Bond, the latest edition of the producer’s annual Distillery Series.
“One of the best parts of my job is being able to work with Chris Morris to experiment with new ways of making Woodford Reserve,” Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said in a news release. “Bottled in Bond whiskey has a long history in Kentucky and it has been exciting for Woodford Reserve to create this wheat whiskey within the Bottled in Bond requirements.”
Like the other whiskeys in the Distillery Series, this limited-edition release has a suggested retail price of $59.99 per 375-milliliter bottle. It is available in limited quantities at select Kentucky retailers and from the Woodford Reserve Distillery.
Woodford Reserve released its latest batch-strength bourbon in late May.

What does Bottled in Bond Mean?
The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was established to provide consumers a guarantee of quality and authenticity when it comes to their whiskey.
If a whiskey is designated “Bottled in Bond,” that means it is guaranteed to have been aged for a minimum of four years in oak barrels in a federally bonded warehouse and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
