This 19-year-old Old Fitzgerald was distilled in the fall of 2003, and is the oldest release in the Bottled in Bond Series of semi-annual expressions. The nose has touches of old leather book bindings, tobacco leaf, brown sugar, and tree fruits. The taste is elegant, rich, and complex with notes of brown sugar, black pepper, cinnamon, honey, vanilla, tree fruits, and dried flowers. The finish is long and dry with lingering spices and a touch of baking chocolate. Excellent! (December, 2022)
