One of the most coveted releases in American bourbon — Old Fitzgerald 17 Year Bottled-in-Bond is the ninth edition of Heaven Hill's celebrated Old Fitzgerald BiB Decanter Series, and one of the most age-stated, allocation-constrained bourbons produced in Kentucky. Distilled in the Fall of 2004 and bottled in the Spring of 2022 — a full 17 years of Kentucky aging — this expression meets every strict requirement of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897: the product of a single distillery, from a single distilling season, aged a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). Presented in the iconic Old Fitzgerald decanter bottle, this is a collector's bourbon of the highest order. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Extraordinarily rich and complex — dark caramel, toasted oak, dried fruit, vanilla, and a warm leather and spice character that speaks to 17 years of Kentucky aging
• Palate: Full-bodied and opulent with dark caramel, toasted oak, dried fruit, vanilla, and a layered spice complexity that builds beautifully — the wheated mash bill delivering a characteristic softness and sweetness that makes Old Fitzgerald one of the most elegant long-aged bourbons produced
• Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and deeply satisfying with lingering caramel, oak, dried fruit, and a refined spice complexity that evolves in the glass for minutes
