One of the more anticipated limited edition annual releases was announced this week. Heaven Hill Distillery’s Spring 2023 Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at 10 years old. Comprised of barrels produced during the Spring season lasting from January to June of 2013 and bottled in the Spring of 2023, the eleventh national release ushers in the latest edition to the decanter series.

Bottled in an ornate decanter, the Spring edition is denoted by a green label. As was the case for the past editions, this edition’s tax strip, which has always been a signature of transparency on bottled-in-bond products, will disclose when the liquid was produced and bottled. The Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond spring edition will be available in the 750ml size on an allocated basis.

It meets the strict requirements of a bottled-in-bond: the product of a single distillery from a single distilling season, aged a minimum of four years, and bottled at 100 proof or 50% alcohol by volume. This edition is available at the suggested retail price of $139.99.

TASTING NOTES (Brand Provided):

• COLOR: Bright burnished copper
• NOSE: Brown sugar, molasses, light baking spices with orange peel
• PALATE: gentle with notes of butterscotch, subtle oak, cloves
• FINISH: Long, warm, with tannins and peppery tingle, followed by hint of barrel char

Acquired in 1999 by Heaven Hill, the legendary Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree and intriguing story behind its namesake, John E. Fitzgerald, whose legacy is also heralded by the Larceny Bourbon brand.

Also this month, Heaven Hill hit a major milestone in filling its 10,000,000th barrel.
