Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Seven-Year-Old
Review
A newish release surely meant to capitalize on the wild success of Heaven Hill’s hard-to-find Old Fitzgerald decanter series, this likewise handsomely packaged bottle is also worth your time. This “wheater” offers plenty of wood sugars on the palate, caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla backed and balanced by baking spices. The finish is woodier, with a cinnamon zip and some lingering char. Though this release was somewhat maligned by the cognoscenti when it first came out last summer, give it a fair shake and it’s hard to deny its excellence.
