Old Fitzgerald 19 Year Old Bottled in Bond Fall 2022 Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Fall 2022 Release

Oldest Edition to Date

Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation.

The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series, the legacy of Old Fitzgerald lives on in our other wheated Bourbons expressions: Larceny Small Batch and Larceny Barrel Proof.

Each limited-edition release comes in a custom bottle inspired by the
original 1950s diamond decanter design. The packaging also indicates the
season it was released, the product’s age statement, and its “bottled” date.

"There are no surprises here – this whiskey is a cut-above." - Charles Steele, The Whiskey Wash (10/10)

"All told, there’s nothing here that feels wholly unexpected, but it’s engaging and approachable and easy to sip on — over repeated drams." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

"The nuanced nose delivers pecan shells, dried herbs, spearmint, green tea, honey, hay, tobacco, wicker, and hints of orange peel. It is soft and delicate considering the proof. The palate is rustic and rich, with pistachio, banana taffy, peanut butter crackers, roast coffee, and bitter chocolate. A lengthy finish brings brown sugar, cinnamon, chocolate, and caramel. The oldest Old Fitz to date, this shows clear maturity and significant oak influence." - Ted Simmons, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)

"Breaking new barriers of time spent in barrels, Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond Bourbon Fall 2022 Edition is the oldest release in the line to date, however the limit of how long is too long to spend in barrels may have been found for this series." - Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon

"Concentrated aromas of clove, cinnamon, bing cherry, candied apple, and saddle leather leap out of the glass. The palate has a strong, somewhat medicinal cherry cola element with backup flavors of tart orchard fruit, vanilla, and mulled wine spices. The flavors linger on the tongue, though it goes down a bit hot." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (88 Points)
