Tasting Notes
Nose : Light and airy scents of orange zest, apricot, and peach form alongside sweeter notes of honey and sugarcane. A dash of cinnamon spice adds a welcome contrast, and becomes more prevalent once you notice it. The combination is enjoyable but muted, ultimately held back by its lack of presence.
Palate : Cinnamon spice carries over from the nose, persisting with increasing intensity into the palate with layers of baking spices and nutmeg mingling in. Light honey and a touch of graham cracker complement the spice mixture, forming a sweet base. The mouthfeel is on the thinner side, but the experience is enjoyable nonetheless.
Finish : Honey and cinnamon overflow into the finish. Brown sugar emerges along with light tobacco. Short to medium length, it’s well constructed and nicely balanced, but light like the rest of the sip.
About Old Fitzgerald

Currently produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, the brand is especially known for its elegant Bottled-in-Bond releases, released in seasons with specific ages, and its connection to the phrase "Your Key to Hospitality". Old Fitzgerald is a highly sought-after bourbon for collectors, known for notes of caramel, vanilla, honey, and oak, presented in a distinctive decanter-style bottle
