Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 15 Year Fall 2019 Release Bourbon 750ml
Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 15 Year Fall 2019 Release is the fifth entry in Heaven Hill's Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond Decanter Series, distilled in fall 2004 and aged a full 15 years before bottling. At the time of release, this was the oldest and most sought-after age statement in the series to date, showcasing how extended maturation transforms Old Fitzgerald's wheated mash bill of 75 percent corn, 20 percent wheat, and 5 percent malted barley into something noticeably richer and more concentrated.
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 pours a rich mahogany color. The nose brings caramelized sugar, vanilla bean, toasted oak, honeyed grain, dried fruit, and baking chocolate, developing into cherry and dark fruit undertones. The palate is full bodied and rich, delivering toffee, creme brulee, baked apple, molasses, and vanilla cream framed by elegant oak structure, finishing long, warm, and sweet with lingering spice.
Presented in the brand's iconic decanter inspired by the original 1950s Old Fitzgerald diamond bottle, this 15 year expression is widely regarded as the definitive Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond release, making it a landmark pickup for wheated bourbon collectors and Old Fitzgerald completists.
