Ben Holladay Bottled-in-Bond Missouri Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a heritage-driven expression crafted at the Holladay Distillery in Weston, Missouri—one of the oldest distilleries west of the Mississippi, with roots dating back to 1856. Revived in recent years, the distillery has embraced its historic mash bills and traditional production methods, positioning this bourbon as a true reflection of Missouri whiskey-making.

Made under the strict standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this bourbon is produced in a single distillation season, at a single distillery, aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof. The mash bill leans on a high-corn foundation balanced with rye and malted barley, yielding a classic yet distinctive profile.

In the glass, it shows a warm amber hue. The nose opens with inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, layered with hints of spice and dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, delivering flavors of honey, toffee, baking spice, and peppery rye heat. The finish is long, smooth, and warming, with lingering notes of oak and sweet grain.

Ben Holladay Bottled-in-Bond Missouri Straight Bourbon Whiskey is best appreciated neat or with a splash of water to open its complexity, but it also holds its structure beautifully in classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans. With its bottled-in-bond status and historical roots, it stands as a benchmark of quality and authenticity in American whiskey.
