Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Old Bottled in Bond Bourbon Fall 2018
Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 700 mL | Kentucky, USA | 7 Years Aged | Wheat Bourbon Mashbill
Process & Profile
Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Old Bottled in Bond Bourbon is distilled and matured in Kentucky under the strict requirements of the Bottled-in-Bond Act. The whiskey spends seven years in new charred American oak barrels and is bottled at exactly 100 proof. Its mash bill features a “whisper of wheat” in place of rye—68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. The result is a classic wheated bourbon profile combining smooth sweetness and supple texture with sufficient oak structure.
