DISTILLER'S NOTES:
The Spring 2025 release of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond continues the legacy of this iconic wheated bourbon brand, now distilled and aged by Heaven Hill at the historic Bernheim Distillery. As a Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, it adheres strictly to the federal regulations established in 1897: distilled in a single season by one distiller, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
This 9-year-old expression is presented in the ornate Old Fitzgerald decanter-style bottle, inspired by the 1950s-era diamond decanters that once defined luxury bourbon. Crafted with a wheated mash bill, it offers a smoother, rounder profile than traditional rye-forward bourbons.
TASTING NOTES:
-
Nose: Toasted oak, vanilla bean, dried fruit, and cinnamon
-
Palate: Rich caramel, brown sugar, buttery toffee, and gentle spice
-
Finish: Long and elegant, with notes of baking spice and oak warmth
