Very Special Old Fitzgerald Bch 90pf 12 yr 750ml Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
| Description: | History,. Old Fitzgerald is a brand of sour mash bourbon currently distilled in Louisville, Kentucky by Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. Beginning in 1870, Old Fitzgerald was first produced for rail and steamship lines and private clubs primarily located in the south by John E. Fitzgerald in Frankfort, Kentucky. Around 1900, Old Fitz was released to the American public and in Europe as well. It was one of the few distilled using the pot still method and continued to do so until around 1913. During Prohibition, Old Fitzgerald was one of a select few to distill under government supervision for the national medicinal trade, it was soon after acquired by Pappy Van Winkle for $10,000 who then introduced the Whisper of Wheat to the original recipe. Tasting Notes,. Nose: The first scent on the nose is the sticky-sweetness of simple syrup. Its a bit of the corn with the sweet wheat quality. There is a ripe banana scent as well, along with slightly subdued traditional bourbon aromas of caramel corn and vanilla. Palate: full of classic wheated bourbon aromas and flavors, but made far more interesting with age. A wealth of cinnamon spice notes add some complexity, cutting the richer, sweeter flavors. |
