Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does "Bottled-in-Bond" mean for this release?
To carry the prestigious Bottled-in-Bond designation, a bourbon must meet strict US government regulations established in 1897. It must be the product of one distillation season (in this case, Spring), crafted by one distiller at a single distillery, aged for a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. This Old Fitzgerald release goes well beyond the minimum requirement by aging for a full 10 years.

Is Old Fitzgerald a wheated bourbon?
Yes, Old Fitzgerald is one of the most famous "wheated" bourbons in the world. This means that wheat is used as the secondary flavoring grain in the mashbill instead of traditional rye. The wheat imparts a softer, sweeter, and exceptionally smooth flavor profile with less spice than a rye-heavy bourbon.

How can I identify the vintage of an Old Fitzgerald decanter?
Heaven Hill traditionally releases Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond twice a year: a Spring edition and a Fall edition. You can distinguish them by the label color on the decanter neck and face; Spring releases traditionally feature a green label, while Fall releases feature a black label. The exact age statement and distillation year are always explicitly stated on the bottom band.
