Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Bottled-in-Bond Spring 2026 is a vintage-dated wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Heaven Hill, aged a full decade and bottled in bond at 100 proof in the collection's iconic diamond-cut decanter.
A cornerstone of Heaven Hill's Bourbon Heritage Collection, the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series continues the tradition of vintage-dated wheated bourbons in diamond-cut decanters. Distilled in a single season and matured for ten years in federally bonded warehouses, this release adheres to the historic Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — one distilling season, one distiller, one distillery, at least four years in bond, and exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). The Spring 2026 edition is identified by its green label. Its wheated mash bill delivers the smooth, rich, sweet profile wheated-bourbon drinkers seek, with the extra decade of age adding depth and refined oak.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Brown sugar, butterscotch, and baked apple, with warm nutmeg and toasted oak.
Palate: Soft and mouth-coating, with raw honey, vanilla bean, caramelized orchard fruit, and oak-driven baking spice from the wheated mash bill.
Finish: Long, elegant, and gently warming, with sweet caramel, baking cocoa, and seasoned leather.
