Tasting Notes

Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a wheated bourbon released as part of the highly regarded Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series. Aged for a full decade in new charred American oak, it meets all bottled-in-bond standards, delivering both strength and refinement. The nose opens with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey accented by toasted oak, dried fruit, and baking spice. On the palate, it is smooth and layered, offering flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, cocoa, and cinnamon balanced by clove, citrus peel, and subtle herbal notes. The wheated mashbill provides a soft, rounded texture while long aging adds depth and maturity. The finish is long and elegant, leaving lingering notes of caramel, oak, and warm spice.
