Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the Spring 2024 edition of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at 10 years old.
Comprised of barrels produced in Spring 2014, this is the thirteenth national release in this decanter series.
On the nose is butterscotch and toasted oak along with dried roses and floral notes, the distillery reports. The palate brings honey sweetness and notes of aromatic herbs and green tea, before a finish of herbal notes plus cardamom and nutmeg, with hints of white pepper and oak char at the end.
As is tradition, the Fall edition has a green label. As was the case for past editions, the tax strip, which has always been a signature of transparency on bottled-in-bond products, discloses when the liquid was produced and bottled.
Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond meets the requirements of a bottled-in-bond: the product of a single distillery from a single distilling season, aged a minimum of four years, and bottled at 100 proof or 50% alcohol by volume.
“Heaven Hill’s stewardship of the Old Fitzgerald brand over the past quarter century has honored the legacy of John E. Fitzgerald,” says Heaven Hill master distiller Conor O’Driscoll. “The Spring release showcases the premium quality and craftsmanship of Old Fitzgerald, which has been cherished by fans not just for decades, but for generations.”
Available on an allocated basis, Old Fitz Spring 2024 has the suggested retail price of $139.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
