Old Fitzgerald 14 Year Old Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Fall 2020 Release

Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond fall 2020 edition meets all bottled-in-bond requirements: it’s the product of a single distillery from a single distilling season, aged a minimum of four years and bottled at 100 proof. This 14-year-old bourbon, comprised of barrels produced in fall of 2005, is the sixth national release in this series.

This wheated bourbon was produced by Heaven Hill and was distilled in one distillation season (fall 2005). Aged for 14 years, this fall 2020 release bears a black label as other fall releases have done. This is the first Old Fitzgerald 14 year-old to be nationally released in the decanter series; previously there was a Visitors Center & Kentucky allocated 14 Year bottling with a red label released in 2018.

"The scent of warm, buttery bread and autumnal baked apple wafts out of the glass. But that bread goes bananas when sipped. There's a bit of toasted sesame there, kind of like halvah, along with tart, ripe apricot, quince, and roasted cashews. A pleasant pop of peppercorn adds to the spicy component, with a soothing, long lasting, creamy richness in the finish." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller

"This Old Fitz won’t have you rethinking what you know about bourbon, but it will have you pouring and pouring and pouring top-offs in your glass, at least in my experience, which did an alarming amount of damage to my sample bottle. It’s a major diversion from the usual Old Fitz profile, a new favorite which I found awfully hard to put down — and which you will likely find just as hard to purchase." Christopher Null, Drinkhacker.com

" From the first sniffs and sips, it’s quickly apparent this is a special, memorable bourbon. Its sweet, wheated mash bill charms with bright fruit, light caramel, and gentle oak aromas, followed by notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and more oak on the palate. Lithe in body, the finish floats for an age, like a leaf caught in a brisk gust. While its aromas and flavors hit all the right notes, this bourbon is greater than the sum of its parts — it’s an experience." - Tim McKirdy, Vinepair.com
