Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is a refined and well-balanced expression from Heaven Hill’s celebrated Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, offering a perfect midpoint between youthful brightness and aged complexity. Distilled with a signature wheated mash bill, this bourbon spends eight full years in new charred oak barrels before being bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) in accordance with the strict standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act. Presented in its iconic cut-glass decanter, the 8 Year delivers classic Old Fitz smoothness with a warm, flavorful finish.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Old Fitzgerald 8 Year is an excellent addition for both collectors and fans of elegant, heritage-style bourbon.
