Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Spring 2021 Release

Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Spring 2021 Release is a wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Heaven Hill’s Old Fitzgerald brand — bottled at 100 proof in the iconic decanter bottle that has defined the line since 1849. The 2021 Spring release is part of Heaven Hill’s semi-annual Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond program, each edition distinct in character due to different barrel selections.

Old Fitzgerald uses a wheated mashbill — wheat as the secondary grain rather than rye — producing the soft, sweet character associated with the style. At 8 years and 100 proof under the Bottled-in-Bond designation, it meets the legal requirements of being distilled at a single distillery in a single distilling season, aged at least four years, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. The collector decanter bottle has made these semi-annual releases sought-after by bourbon enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of wheat sweetness. Palate: Smooth and rich — brown sugar, baking spice, dried fruit. Finish: Long and warm with oak and vanilla.
