On Tuesday, Bardstown, Ky.’s Heaven Hill Distillery announced the latest addition to the Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series: the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 25th Anniversary Edition.
The release honors the 25-year anniversary of Heaven Hill’s acquisition of the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville as well as the Old Fitzgerald brand in 1999. The barrels used for this particular release were produced that same year, then emptied in March 2013. At the time, the distillery team taste-tested the distillate, and decided that due to its outstanding profile, it should be reserved for a momentous occasion — like this anniversary. It was bottled in February of this year.
