Fall 2024 edition of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The name “Fall 2024 edition” might seem confusing even though this whiskey was released in mid-December. It was produced in the autumn of 2013 and matured in new, charred American oak barrels for eleven years. It got its name because this bottled-in-bond, 100-proof whiskey was bottled in the fall of 2024.

According to the distillers at Heaven Hill, Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond begins with a nose of leather, vanilla, cinnamon candy, and nutmeg. The palate is loaded with flavors like crème brûlée, ginger, old leather, and toasted oak. The finish is long, warm, lingering, and ends with a mix of pepper and charred oak.

“Heaven Hill Distillery’s Fall 2024 edition of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a masterclass in tradition and craftsmanship,” Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll said in a press release.

“At 11 years old, this release celebrates a first-class legacy within the Bottled-in-Bond category. As the 14th release in this prestigious series, it reaffirms Old Fitzgerald’s place at the pinnacle of American whiskey, honoring both its storied past and the continued excellence that Heaven Hill brings to every bottle.”

In 2000, a liquor retailer named Gordon Jackson won a barrel of 15-year-old bourbon from Julian Van Winkle (yes, that Van Winkle family) and decided to bottle and sell it under the name "Dirty Helen" Cromwell Bourbon. It was such a hit that it's being rereleased twenty-five years later by Old Commonwealth Distillery.

She was a sex worker, madam, and owner of the infamous Sunflower Inn located in Milwaukee in the 20s and 40s, a bar that only served whiskey and nothing else.
