Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond 11 Years Aged Bourbon Whiskey

750 ml

50% ABV

100 Proof

Bottled in a ornate decanter inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the series reflects the traditions of both the Old Fitzgerald history tied to John E. Fitzgerald, and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line was well known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 by S.C Herbst, and was eventually sold to Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle during prohibition.

Released twice annually, with varying age statements but consistent quality. There is a subtle fruity sweetness on the nose, with notes of fresh strawberries, dried orange slices and apricots, raspberry syrup, and sweet tea alongside dried herbs and Country Time lemonade. That interplay of tart and sweet carries over to the palate, with cooked berries, tangy citrus, and a soft, inviting texture. The finish is mouth-coating and has good depth. With zesty notes throughout, this hits its mark well. —Ted Simmons
