Heaven Hill Distillery Unveils Spring 2025 Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series
BARDSTOWN, Ky. (May 7, 2025) – Heaven Hill Distillery proudly announces the release of the Spring 2025 Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, a 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Crafted from barrels distilled in spring 2016 and bottled in spring 2025, this fifteenth national release continues the storied legacy of the bottled-in-bond tradition.
Presented in an ornate decanter with a signature green label, this spring edition features a tax strip disclosing production and bottling dates, emphasizing transparency. Available in 750ml bottles on an allocated basis, the bourbon will hit shelves in the coming weeks with a suggested retail price of $129.99. It adheres to bottled-in-bond standards: produced at a single distillery in one distilling season, aged at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
The Spring 2025 edition boasts a bright copper color, with aromas of apple pie crust. Its palate offers classic bourbon notes of vanilla and butterscotch, followed by toasted cereal and apple pie spices. The finish is creamy and viscous, with baked apples fading into oak and cinnamon spices.
“With each release of the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, we aim to honor both the tradition and craftsmanship that define this storied label,” said Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller at Heaven Hill. “This 9-year-old Spring 2025 edition showcases the richness of time. It’s a proud reflection of the bottled-in-bond legacy and Heaven Hill’s enduring commitment to excellence in American whiskey.”
As a leader in the bottled-in-bond category, Heaven Hill delivers a premium, allocated bourbon that highlights the authenticity of its American Whiskey portfolio. Acquired in 1999, the Old Fitzgerald brand is renowned for its distilling heritage and luxury status, once sold on elite rail lines and steamships. The packaging, inspired by a 1950s diamond decanter, features a key graphic symbolizing the brand’s “Your key to hospitality” slogan since the 1940s.
