Bottled-in-Bond means the whiskey comes from one distillery and one distilling season, aged at least four years in a bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach spring and fall, Heaven Hill releases a new edition of the Decanter Series with a different age statement.
