Description

Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 11 Year 2025 Edition is a distinguished expression of classic Kentucky bourbon tradition, marrying rich wheated sweetness with depth from extended aging and the discipline of the Bottled-in-Bond designation. Its poised balance of fruit, spice, and oak makes it compelling for both contemplative sipping and elevated bourbon cocktails. Origins & Craftsmanship This release is part of the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky — a storied American whiskey maker with deep roots in bourbon history. The series pays homage to the brand’s 19th-century origins and its heyday as a luxury bourbon served on rail lines and steamships, now reimagined with ornate decanter bottles inspired by 1950s designs and a signature black label for fall editions. As a Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, it adheres to U.S. federal standards: distilled at a single distillery during one season, aged a minimum of four years, and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). The Fall 2025 edition reflects barrels distilled in the fall of 2014 and aged 11 years, showcasing the impact of time on a wheated bourbon mash bill — emphasizing sweetness and structural refinement alongside oak nuance. Its allocated nature underscores the collectible character of this seasonal release.
