The Story
Jack Daniel's Bonded 100 Proof — Tennessee Whiskey bottled under the strict federal standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897: distilled at a single distillery in a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was America's first federal consumer protection law for spirits — created to guarantee authenticity in an era of adulterated whiskeys. Jack Daniel's Bonded applies that century-old standard to Tennessee Whiskey: a single season, single distillery, four-year minimum, 100-proof commitment that adds the BiB designation's transparency to the Lincoln County Process tradition. At 100 proof, it delivers noticeably more presence and intensity than Old No. 7 at 80 proof, with the same smooth Tennessee character.
For consumers who want a Jack Daniel's that drinks with more body and structure without moving into single barrel territory, Bonded is the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Bottled in Bond mean? A federal designation: distilled at one distillery in one season, aged minimum 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof. America's oldest consumer protection guarantee for spirits.
- How does Bonded 100 Proof differ from Old No. 7? Old No. 7 is 80 proof with no age statement. Bonded is 100 proof, minimum 4 years aged, and meets the additional federal BiB standards for production transparency.
- Is Bonded good for cocktails? Yes — 100 proof holds up well in Old Fashioneds, Whiskey Sours, and other cocktails where the extra presence prevents the spirit from getting lost behind ice and mixers.
