Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Bourbon 750ml
Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon
Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond is Heaven Hill Distillery's celebrated decanter series — a rotating lineup of age-stated, Bottled-in-Bond wheated bourbons released twice annually in the iconic Old Fitzgerald decanter bottle. The 8 Year expression sits between the entry-level releases and the more mature 9 and 10 Year expressions, offering a refined balance of youthful grain energy and developing oak complexity that is characteristic of the wheated mash bill at this stage of maturation.
Bottled at 100 proof under the strict requirements of the Bottled-in-Bond Act — aged a minimum of four years, produced in a single distilling season, and bottled at a federally bonded warehouse — this is a bourbon of guaranteed provenance and exceptional quality. Each release is limited and allocated, making it a perennial favorite among wheated bourbon collectors.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Honey, vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and a gentle floral sweetness from the wheat mash bill
- Palate: Silky and approachable — brown sugar, wheat bread, baking spice, stone fruit, and a soft oak structure with 8 years of clean integration
- Finish: Medium-long and smooth with lingering honey, vanilla, and warm spice
