Heaven Hill Unleashes 25th Anniversary Edition of Old Fitzgerald Bourbon
Heaven Hill, known for its exquisite spirits, has recently unveiled the 25th Anniversary Edition of its revered Old Fitzgerald Bourbon. This release is set to send shockwaves through the whiskey world, captivating enthusiasts with its unparalleled charm and allure.
The Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series has long been a treasure trove for serious whiskey aficionados. With the introduction of this milestone edition, Heaven Hill has elevated the brand to mythical proportions, cementing its status as a must-have for collectors.
A Journey Through Time
The legacy of Old Fitzgerald traces back to 1884, marking its place in history as a true classic. During the era of Prohibition, the brand found itself under the stewardship of the legendary Pappy Van Winkle. Under his guidance, Old Fitzgerald underwent a transformation, evolving into a wheated bourbon that would stand the test of time.
In 1999, Heaven Hill welcomed the Old Fitz name into its family, following the acquisition of the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville. This move came on the heels of a devastating fire at the Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery, underscoring the resilience and determination of the distillery.
Unveiling the 25th Anniversary Edition
Since 2018, the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series has captivated enthusiasts with its biannual releases. The 25th Anniversary Edition marks a return to the Very Very Special (VVS) expressions, adding a touch of exclusivity to an already prestigious lineup.
Crafted from a mashbill shared with Heaven Hill’s Larceny brand, this bourbon boasts a composition of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. The liquid inside the decanter originates from 13-year-old barrels, distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2013 after meticulous aging and curation.
