In Bardstown, Kentucky (May 15, 2024) – Today, Heaven Hill Distillery revealed the launch of the Spring 2024 edition of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, aged 10 years. Crafted from barrels produced in Spring 2014, this thirteenth national release introduces the latest addition to the decanter series, perpetuating the legacy of bottled-in-bond excellence.
Packaged in an exquisite decanter, the Spring edition distinguishes itself with a green label. Like its predecessors, this edition’s tax strip, a hallmark of transparency on bottled-in-bond products, will detail the production and bottling dates. Available in the 750ml size on an allocated basis, the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond spring edition adheres strictly to the requirements: distilled at a single distillery within a single season, aged for a minimum of four years, and bottled at 100 proof or 50% alcohol by volume. Enthusiasts can acquire this edition at the suggested retail price of $139.99.
The Spring 2024 edition of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey presents a radiant copper hue, offering a nose of butterscotch and toasted oak, intertwined with dried roses and floral aromas. Its palate unfolds with delicate honey sweetness, accented by hints of aromatic herbs and green tea, culminating in a rich, herbal finish with nuances of cardamom, nutmeg, white pepper, and oak char.
Heaven Hill’s custodianship of the Old Fitzgerald brand for the past twenty-five years pays homage to the legacy of John E. Fitzgerald.
The Spring release epitomizes the premium quality and artistry of Old Fitzgerald, revered not only for decades but across generations.
