Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old Bottled in Bond Spring 2024 Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Spring 2024 Release

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.

"Upping the age statement from the previous edition brings with it a satisfying well-rounded sip at an ever-increasing price point." - Eric Hasman, Breaking Bourbon

"Really pretty on the nose and the palate, and delivers on those confectionary and fruit notes but in a gentler, kinder way than one might expect; a damn fine sipper." - Tastings.com (94 Points)

"The Spring 2024 release of Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond delivers a captivating experience with a prominent lime note throughout. The nose offers delightful aromas of tangerine, leather, sun tea, caramel, vanilla, and oak. The palate is thick and rich, featuring flavors of lime, fudge, sweet sugary cherry, simple syrup, almond, and oak. The finish is long and sweet, with lingering notes of espresso, lime, apricot, cocoa, white pepper, oak, and spice. Despite its 100 proof, this bourbon drinks much thicker and richer, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a robust and flavorful whiskey." - Matthew Evans, Whiskey Consensus (91 Points)

"Melted caramel, hot chocolate, orange peel, and fresh cherries on the nose. The palate is quite hot but flavorful, with dried cherries and vanilla cream, and water opens it up, coaxing out sweet orange, more vanilla cream, mint, pine needles, and light pepper. The finish is long and with similar fruit notes to the palate, along with dark chocolate, unsweetened espresso, and that pronounced influence of drying oak." - David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)

"The nose is like a spiced dried mulberry fruit rollup (fruit leather) that has just been pulled from the pocket of a leather jacket. More of that jammy fruit emerges on the palate along a scattering of cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. The leather aroma also makes its way into the finish, which is long and sweet with a spicy spark of heat." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (91 Points)

"Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Spring 2024 Kentucky Straight Bourbon continues moving the marker for an outstanding, ongoing series from Heaven Hill. It presents itself as well-balanced and well-done in the best bourbon ways." - Nino Kilgore-Marchetti, The Whiskey Wash (90 Points)
