Single distilling season. Single distillery. Federally bonded warehouse. Rebecca Creek Bottled-in-Bond Texas Straight Bourbon — San Antonio's Rebecca Creek Distillery applying the most stringent authenticity standard in American whiskey to Texas-grown and Texas-produced bourbon.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — championed by Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. — established the first federal consumer protection standards in American spirits history. Bottled-in-Bond requires: production at a single distillery in a single distilling season, aging for a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision, and bottling at exactly 100 proof. No blending across distilleries, no blending across seasons, no manipulation of proof. The tax strip on every BiB bottle documents exactly where and when the whiskey was made.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRebecca Creek's decision to produce a Bottled-in-Bond expression demonstrates a commitment to transparency and production integrity that distinguishes the distillery from many Texas craft producers. Texas bourbon has earned serious national attention over the past decade — the state's extreme temperature swings (hot summers, cool winters) accelerating barrel extraction and producing bourbon with more concentrated character per year than many Northern states. Rebecca Creek's BiB applies this Texas maturation advantage to the most demanding production certification available.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Texas bourbon — vanilla, caramel, and warm grain with the concentrated character that Hill Country barrel aging produces.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full and balanced at 100 proof — the BiB certification delivering the full aromatic intensity without the extreme of barrel strength.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long and warm — Texas oak and grain spice through a clean, satisfying close.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rebecca Creek Distillery, San Antonio, Texas (est. 2010)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Bottled-in-Bond\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled-in-Bond (single season, single distillery, federally bonded, 4+ years)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Bottled-in-Bond mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires: single distillery, single distilling season, minimum 4 years aging in a federally bonded government-supervised warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof. The tax strip on each bottle documents the distillery and season. No blending across sources or seasons is permitted.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWho was Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. and why does BiB matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e E.H. Taylor Jr. was a 19th-century Kentucky distiller and champion of bourbon quality standards who lobbied for the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act as a consumer protection measure against adulterated whiskey. The BiB standard he created is still the most stringent production certification in American whiskey over 125 years later.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Texas bourbon unique?\u003c\/strong\u003e Texas's extreme temperature range — hot summers and cool winters — drives bourbon in and out of the barrel more aggressively than more temperate climates. This accelerated extraction can produce more concentrated, intensely flavored bourbon per year. Texas craft distillers have leveraged this climate advantage to produce nationally recognized expressions in shorter aging windows.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the BiB compare to Rebecca Creek's Small Batch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BiB's 100 proof and single-season certification provide documented provenance and higher proof than the Small Batch. The Small Batch emphasizes consistency and approachability; the BiB emphasizes authenticity and the full intensity of Rebecca Creek's production at its most certified standard.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e {   \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",   \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",   \"mainEntity\": [     { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What does Bottled-in-Bond mean?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Single distillery, single distilling season, minimum 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof.
