Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond Fall 2020 Edition. Image courtesy Heaven Hill Distillery.The Fall 2020 edition of Old Fitzgerald comes from barrels filled in the fall season of 2005, making it the first 14-year-old Bourbon in the series. The nose is well-balanced with caramel candy sweetness, oak sawdust, pipe tobacco, honey, and touches of apples and apricots. The taste has a bite of black cherries along with honey at first, followed by black pepper and allspice notes that provide a nice complex burst before settling down to a nice balance with honey and pipe tobacco in the background. The finish is long with hints of spices and oak balanced by black cherries, honey, and caramel. Excellent! (September, 2020)
