The Bonded 8 Year Four Grain Bourbon is a blend of two batches. They used 18 barrels from Batch #6-S, which was barreled in the Spring of 2013 making it 8 years and 5 months old. The second batch, #6-F, was barreled in the Fall of 2013 and had 9 barrels selected at an age of 8 years and 2 months.

This shows the patience and foresight that Laws had to ensure multiple batches were available to blend a worthy bonded release. Not to mention to keep it going into much higher ages for bonded whiskeys, giving us a unique opportunity to affordably try a less available whiskey expression.

It’s also somewhat of a piece of Colorado spirits history. When Laws came out with their initial bonded release, it was the first bonded whiskey ever to be made in Colorado.
