Old Fitzgerald 13-Year-Old Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

The new entrant in Heaven Hill Distillery line of a limited-edition series is a terrific whiskey that demonstrates what careful aging can do to improve a product, especially wheated bourbons, which many believe age better than rye bourbons.

This 13-year-old release officially puts Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond in competition with wheated Weller and Van Winkle bourbons, some of the most prized American-made bottles. As one of the industry’s older BIBs, it also has that important distinction of being made in one distilling season only and never mingled with older or younger whiskeys.

NOSE: Warm peach pie, caramel. Dried grain, vanilla, malted milk ball candy, lemon curd
TASTE: Medium body, caramel, raisin. Graham cracker, toasted oak
FINISH: Long, luxurious and warm. Honeyed (toddy-like), lingering oak
