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.”

The best tequilas for whiskey drinkers
Whiskey fans will love these aged tequilas
Mijenta

Tequila is an interesting spirit. It seems to have two sides. One side is a wild, over-the-top party, and the other is casual and comfortable. The first side is Blanco tequila shots with salt and lime wedges and bright, vibrant, sugary cocktails. The second side is long-aged, nuanced tequilas crafted to be sipped neat. While there’s a time and place for the party side of tequila, today is all about complexity and age. Specifically, today I want to delve into tequilas suited for whiskey drinkers.

After two decades of writing about alcohol, I can let you in on one important secret: alcohol is complicated, and learning everything about each one takes a lot of time (and sampling). When I first started drinking in my early 20s, I thought tequila was merely a spirit for shots or cocktails. I didn’t even realize there was a whole mature side to it. As I got more into bourbon and single malt Scotch whisky, I realized that I was completely missing out on sipping aged tequilas.

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style
Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons
Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.
