Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Experience a slice of Kentucky heritage with Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Distilled by Heaven Hill Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, this 100-proof (50% ABV) bourbon is part of the acclaimed Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, released in Spring 2025. Crafted with a wheated mashbill (68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley), it’s aged 7 years in new charred American oak barrels, adhering to the strict Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897—distilled in a single season, at one distillery, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. Non-chill filtered, it offers a smooth, rich profile. Housed in a vintage-inspired diamond decanter with a green label, it honors the brand’s 1884 roots and Pappy Van Winkle legacy.

Nose: Warm caramel and vanilla lead, with notes of honeyed wheat, baked apple, and a hint of cinnamon. Subtle oak and brown sugar add depth. It’s a cozy, inviting tease.

Palate: Smooth and sweet, with butterscotch, toffee, and soft wheat. A touch of nutmeg and dried fruit balances the creamy texture, offering a refined warmth.

Finish: Medium-long, with lingering caramel, gentle spice, and a whisper of oak char, fading into a soft, sweet glow.

Pair this bourbon with smoked brisket—the caramel notes love the char. Want a bite? Try aged cheddar; it lifts the sweetness. For dessert, an apple pie echoes the nose’s fruitiness. Feeling bold? Grilled pork with a honey glaze ties the finish into a Kentucky feast.
