Subject: Whiskey Bonding Barn

> Dear List Members,
> 
> I have received a research request that I would love a little help on.  A
> member of a historical society asked me where official records would be
> filed for a former “whiskey bonding barn.” Unfortunately, she has no dates
> when the barn was used for this function.
> 
> Doing a little research online has produced the following: “bonding dates
> to the early days of bottling when a law (1894) permitted distillers to
> warehouse packaged whiskey without paying tax until it was released for
> sale. The strength standard was 100 proof and this is still referred to as
> bottled in bond.”
> 
> Does anyone have any ideas on which direction I can go with this?
> 
> Many thanks,
