Laws Whiskey House Releases Bottled in Bond Four Grain Straight Bourbon - Six Year
The Laws Whiskey House traditional practices capture the essence of Colorado’s terroir and produce a truly unapologetic authentic American Whiskey.
DENVER, CO— Laws Whiskey House, the award winning Denver based distillery, is proud to announce the annual release of its Bottled in Bond Four Grain Straight Bourbon. Aged six years, this distinctive offering of the company’s flagship bourbon exemplifies the craftsmanship, patience, and perseverance that are the hallmarks of the Laws There Are No Shortcuts mantra. This whiskey has an SRP of $75 and is now available across Laws national distribution footprint with approximately 500 9L cases produced.
As the first Colorado distillery to produce a bonded whiskey, Laws Whiskey House continues to set the standard for Bottled-In-Bond expressions. Since that inaugural release, Laws has expanded their Bonded portfolio to six different expressions including Bourbon, Rye, Malt, Wheat, and Corn whiskies.
“Patience is an important part of all excellent whiskey,” says founder and CEO Al Laws. “Time in conjunction with the vintage nature of the Bottled in Bond act creates the basis for this special release. For Laws Whiskey House, Bottled-In-Bond expressions are ingrained in our culture. They exemplify who we are as whiskey makers.”
The Laws Bottled in Bond Four Grain Straight Bourbon – Six Year is made with the same bourbon mash bill as the Laws flagship Four Grain Bourbon, with 60 percent corn, 20 percent heirloom wheat, 10 percent heirloom rye, and 10 percent heirloom malted barley. All of these grains are grown and harvested from family-owned Colorado Farms. Furthermore, the distillery’s traditional practice of open air, on-grain fermentation captures the essence of Colorado’s terroir and produces a truly unapologetic authentic American Whiskey.
The Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 was an important turning point in the history of bourbon that set forth exacting standards that offered consumers a guarantee of transparency, process, and quality. Specifically, it stipulated that the whiskey must be the product of one distilling season, from one distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof. 123 years later, this designation continues to offer those same guarantees, providing consumers with the knowledge of where, how, and when Bourbon was produced and aged.

Laws Whiskey House Makes Waves with Release of 6-Year Bottled in Bond Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey on July 28
This whiskey was aged for six years, exceeding the minimum four-year standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897
DENVER, CO— Laws Whiskey House is releasing a 6-Year Bottled in Bond Four Grain Bourbon expression of its award-winning Four Grain Bourbon. Bottles will be available at the distillery on July 28; participating Colorado retailers will receive bottles in August, while supplies last.
This whiskey was aged for six years, exceeding the minimum four-year standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. The 6-year bonded Four Grain Bourbon will replace Laws Whiskey’s 4-year version, which has been a popular staple in the Laws portfolio for several years.
“The 4-year bonded Four Grain Bourbon has been a personal favorite of mine, but with the release of the 6-year expression, we’re raising the bar and shifting the bonded Four Grain to an older profile,” says Al Laws, founder of Laws Whiskey House. “This version produces smoother vanilla and caramel notes and an enhanced black cherry flavor that you don’t get from the 4-year version.”
Featuring 100% Colorado-grown corn from The Whiskey Sisters in Burlington, and rye, wheat and barley from Colorado Malting Company in Alamosa, the 6-Year Bottled in Bond Four Grain Bourbon matured in 53-gallon charred oak barrels.
A Bottled in Bond designation requires that the whiskey be a product of a single season, using the grain of a single season, made by one distiller at a single distillery, and aged at least four years in a federal government-bonded warehouse. This whiskey is then cut and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). By making bonded whiskeys, Laws continues to uphold the highest integrity in the whiskey-making process.
The 6-Year Bottled in Bond Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey joins Laws Whiskey’s lineup of bonded products, including the newly released Bonded Centennial Straight Wheat Whiskey, bonded Secale Straight Rye Whiskey, bonded Two Grain Straight Bourbon and bonded Straight Corn Whiskey.
“Everyone at Laws is excited to present the new 6-year bonded bourbon with our friends, fans and extended village,” says Laws. “We continue to challenge ourselves to raise the bar on Colorado Whiskey as we improve and refine our craft.”

Laws Whiskey House Releases One of the First Bonded Wheat Whiskeys in America
Laws Whiskey House’s Bonded Centennial Straight Wheat Whiskey is now available
DENVER, CO— Laws Whiskey House is releasing Bonded Centennial Straight Wheat Whiskey today. The award-winning distillery’s newest summer offering is made with 100% Colorado grown Soft White Centennial Spring Wheat, and it’s one of the first ever Bonded Wheat Whiskey releases in the nation.
Centennial Straight Wheat joins Four Grain Straight Bourbon, Secale Straight Rye, Straight Corn Whiskey, and Two Grain Straight Bourbon in Laws’ Bottled in Bond series.
Bottled in Bond requires that the whiskey is a product of a single season, using the grain of a single harvest season, made by one distiller at a single distillery, and aged at least four years in a federal government-bonded warehouse. This whiskey is then cut and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). These rules are even more stringent than the U.S. standards for “Straight Whiskey.”
"We want to lead the charge on defining what wheat whiskey can be," says Al Laws, founder of Laws Whiskey House.“The distinct flavors of this heirloom grain really shines for us in this expression.”
The 100% Colorado-grown wheat from Colorado Malting Company comes from the unique terroir of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, which imparts aromas of mountain strawberries and orange marmalade that accentuate hints of alpine meadows and wildflower honey. Jasmine tea, sage and spruce tips fade into pink peppercorns, with crisp linen on the mouthfeel. The spirit finishes dry with a slight bitter, candied orange finish.
Bonded Centennial Straight Wheat over ice brings the wheat character and flavors forward. For a refreshing take on a highball cocktail, add ice and soda to create the perfect summer drink.
This summer seasonal will be available at the Laws Whiskey House tasting room (1420 S Acoma St, Denver, CO 80223) and at participating liquor stores across Colorado while supplies last.
"This single grain whiskey release, which is consistent with our portfolio of serving top-notch niche bonded whiskey, showcases the robust flavor of Centennial Wheat planted specifically for us,” says Laws.
