Bottled in Bond Bourbon Whiskey (50% ABV*)
75% Corn – 21% Rye – 4% Malted Barley
Bottled-in-bond is a designation that was created in 1897 by way of the Bottled in Bond Act. The act’s purpose was to protect the integrity and authenticity of aged spirits in America. Because sellers and bootleggers at the time were adulterating moonshine and other non-aged spirits with colorants, flavorings, and occasionally lethal chemicals to falsely market their spirits as legitimate, a spirit marked as bottled-in-bond was essentially guaranteed in its quality.

This finishing process imbues the bourbon with complex notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, creating a truly unforgettable tasting experience”.

Two Barrel Picks!

(1) Exclusive Bourbon
Exclusive Barrel Picks!
What is a “barrel-pick”?
Barrel picks are private, hands-on experiences where individuals or small groups work directly with the master distiller or brand ambassador to select a specific bourbon or whiskey barrel. The chosen barrel is then bottled exclusively for the group, complete with a custom label or sticker identifying it as part of a limited barrel select program.
Recently, Tasting deVine Cellars of Naperville was able to collaborate with Driftless Glen Distillery to bring you two, one-of-a-kind finds just in time for the holidays!
What makes this experience so exclusive is the personalized nature of the selection. Each barrel has its own unique characteristics, and only a limited number of bottles come from that single barrel, ensuring that what you take home is truly one-of-a-kind. This is a rare opportunity to own a whiskey or bourbon that can’t be found anywhere else, offering both collectors and enthusiasts a distinctive piece of craftsmanship.
