Old Fitzgerald Bourbon 13Yr 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Old Fitzgerald Bourbon 13Yr 750ml greets the palate with a rich, velvety texture that makes it perfect for slow sipping on special occasions or quiet evenings. Bottled at 50% ABV, this bourbon is crafted using the traditional wheated mash bill that sets Old Fitzgerald apart, offering a softer profile compared to rye-based bourbons. Distilled and aged in Kentucky, United States, its heritage is rooted in classic American whiskey-making traditions.

The flavor profile unfolds with layers of caramel, toasted oak, and hints of baking spice balanced by subtle vanilla and dried fruit notes. When paired with barbecue ribs, its sweetness complements smoky flavors while the robust body stands up to bold sauces. With dark chocolate, Old Fitzgerald’s lingering warmth and gentle spice enhance the chocolate’s richness for an indulgent finish.
