The Old Fitzgerald 13 Year Old Bottled In Bond 2024 25th Anniversary release is a remarkable and historically significant bourbon, commemorating a quarter-century since Heaven Hill's acquisition of the Old Fitzgerald brand. This special release holds not only an exceptional bourbon but also a story of resilience and continuity in the face of adversity.
In 1996, the Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery was lost to a devastating fire. However, the spirit of the brand was kept alive when Heaven Hill acquired the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY, in 1999, along with the Old Fitzgerald brand. This 13-year-old bourbon, distilled in 1999, is a tribute to the 25th anniversary of this pivotal moment, representing Heaven Hill's dedication to preserving and continuing the Old Fitzgerald legacy.
