Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Bottled In Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Bottled-in-Bond puts bread-like sweetness and baking spice at the center of a rich bourbon profile. Heaven Hill describes graham cracker and honey aromas with light citrus and summer fruit, followed by fresh bread, brown sugar and spice. Cinnamon and a touch of oak carry the finish, making this a good direction for fans of wheated bourbon.

At 100 proof, it is worth trying a small neat pour before choosing water or ice. A few drops let you compare the sweetness and oak at different strengths. For a taller serve, the producer’s Fitz Spritz combines this bourbon with ginger liqueur, lemon and Prosecco; it offers a useful alternative when you want a bright, sparkling cocktail.

How it’s made: Heaven Hill produces Old Fitzgerald in Kentucky using a wheated bourbon recipe. This expression ages seven years and meets Bottled-in-Bond requirements, including one distillery, one distilling season and bottling at exactly 100 proof. It is the seven-year expression, distinct from the changing-age decanter releases.
