Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon: Spring Release Highlights

The Spring Release of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

A Nod to Premium Quality and Craftsmanship

Heaven Hill bourbon fans have something exciting to look forward to this spring! Heaven Hill announced the release of their much-loved Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Series. This latest bourbon masterpiece is ten years old, priced at $139.99, and boasts an impressive 100 proof.

Timeless Legacy and Craftsmanship

The spring release, drawn from barrels made in Spring 2014, marks the thirteenth edition of the biannual series. Heaven Hill’s Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll highlighted the honor of continuing the legacy of John E. Fitzgerald. He emphasized that this spring release epitomizes the premium quality and craftsmanship that Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond bourbon is celebrated for, cherished by generations.

Distinctive Decanters and Labels

One of the striking features of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond bourbon is its beautifully distinctive decanters. Each spring edition is marked with a green label, featuring a tax strip that indicates the distillation and bottling period. This release meets all the requirements of a bottled-in-bond bourbon: being distilled in one distilling season at one distillery, aged for at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof.

A Tradition Twice a Year

Old Fitzgerald bottled-in-bond releases make their way to the shelves twice annually, in both the spring and fall. Last November saw the release of an eight-year-old fall edition housed in a black-labeled decanter. This year, the brand also celebrated a significant milestone with a 25th Anniversary Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, aged 13 years, as a tribute to their 1996 purchase of Bernheim Distillery.
