Bourbon After the Act

The second in this series, our story resumes with the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

The Act created a new type of whiskey, called Bonded, or Bottled-in-Bond (BIB). Bonded whiskey must be the product of one year’s distilling, from a single distillery, aged in a Federally supervised warehouse for no less than four years, and bottled at 100 proof. All Bonded whiskey has a DSP (Distilled Spirits Plant) code on it, the complete list of which can be found online.

The Bottled in Bond Act was brilliant on two levels. On the producer side, people like Colonel E.H. Taylor (of Old Taylor fame, though there’s now an EH Taylor bottling) fought for government supervision of their aging stocks because the public would know exactly what they were buying. On the government’s side, Treasury Secretary John Carlisle wanted to ensure proper payment of Federal tax, which had been a major source of both revenue and headache since 1791’s Whiskey Rebellion.

    The title was no doubt inspired by War's 1972 hit "The Cisco Kid" and is not to be confused with the creme de cacao cocktail Pisco Kid. The Cloosterbitter acts like a very mild Chartreuse and also as a sweetener to balance the lime juice. If you want to bring this up a notch, add a light dash of Amargo Chuncho bitters. These have a floral note that elevates Pisco sours and adds more dimension here.

    It is a fair question. (Note that this recipe/submission isn't new, it is from 2013.) There are three key points of difference, and that is likely enough--plus the recipe was in a published paper and from a 5th Avenue speakeasy. The recipe differs in the 1. doubled gin content, but also in the choice of components, 2. While Cocchi Americano is commonly used for Lillet Blanc, the flavors are very different, and I seriously doubt that the Cocchi product tastes much like historical Kina Lillet. (I prefer Kina l'Aero d'Or to Cocchi for most things--too much cinnamon-like flavor in the Cocchi.) 3. Clement Creole Shrubb is considerably different in flavor than Cointreau or other 80 proof Curacao's.

    It is an ongoing challenge at KC whether to reject a number of submissions because they are variations on old standards, or "merge" them into existing drinks (which effectively erases the new submission), or to publish them if they differ enough. Many of these end up hanging around in limbo for months or longer. The recently submitted and approved "The Lazarus Project" has similar concerns, double the gin of the Corpse Reviver #2, 1/3 the Curacao, and 2/3 the citrus juice using a split lemon/lime base. If that is one that doesn't differ enough (listed as an "altered recipe" of the Corpse Reviver #2 already), then hopefully folks will comment on that under that cocktail and its status can be reviewed.

    A Corpse Reviver #2 with double the gin needs a new name?

    Nice cocktail however I personally would up the falernum to 1/2oz. It was barely detectable.

    Used Cointreau. Loose the simple.
