Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 19 Year Fall 2022 Release Bourbon 750ml
Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 19 Year Fall 2022 Release is the tenth release in Heaven Hill's Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond Decanter Series, which began in spring 2018, and stands as the oldest expression the series has ever produced. Distilled in September 2003 during a single distilling season, this wheated bourbon aged 19 years before bottling in October 2022, pulled from three floors of Rickhouse F and one floor of Rickhouse X at Heaven Hill's main Kentucky campus.
Meeting every legal requirement of Bottled in Bond, product of a single distillery in a single season, aged a minimum of four years, and bottled at exactly 100 proof, this release delivers a deep, reddened amber color. The nose brings dark chocolate, vanilla bean, oak, leather, and spice, while the palate opens with dusty oak giving way to leather and a sweet, spicy mid-palate, layered with rich caramel and vanilla. The finish carries seasoned, spicy oak alongside lingering sweet notes that stretch on impressively for a whiskey of this age.
Released on an allocated basis, this 19 year old expression pushes the boundaries of how far a wheated bourbon can age while still holding its balance, making it a landmark pickup for serious Old Fitzgerald collectors and extra-aged bourbon enthusiasts chasing the oldest release in the series to date.
