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.”

Sipping straight from the source
Laws Whiskey House bar.

Remember when speakeasies had a renaissance not too long ago? They seemed to almost single-handedly bring back classic cocktail recipes like the Bee's Knees and the Gin Fizz. Then came the return of great hotel bars and bespoke, off-the-menu cocktails. Now, it is the era of the distillery bar.

There are some truly remarkable options out there now, from the dazzling, church-inspired bar at Laws Whiskey House in Denver to Great Jones in the heart of Manhattan. There's the High West Saloon in Park City, The Emerald Room in Portland, and Kuleana Rum Works in Hawaii. And that's just the tip of a spirits-fueled iceberg.
