Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 7yr
I predict now this will be Whiskey Advocate Whiskey of the Year. It's just that good. Heaven Hill's 7yr wheated recipe bottled at 100 proof under the Old Fitzgerald name. I'm not sure I've tasted a new release this drinkable, this balanced, in a pure, non-finished bourbon! The nose offers big baking spice and candied and tropical fruit. On the palate, the wheated sweetness is off the charts. Big juicy tropical flavors with only a touch of oak spice. Really, this bottle should come with a warning, it's that drinkable! You will not find more pleasure in a bottle so far this year, and there have been many good releases. We may have been in a golden age of bourbon brands, but now that all the big guys have plenty of aged juice and the market has slowed just a touch, releases like this will remind you why you started drinking bourbon in the first place, to be truly surprised and delighted by what's in the glass, and be OVER delivered for the price. WOW!
