- Description
- This 1958-distilled Old Fitzgerald spent a decade in Stitzel-Weller's cellars during the distillery's golden era of wheated bourbon production, before bottling in 1969. The wheated mashbill softens typical bourbon spice, emphasizing caramel, vanilla, and subtle corn sweetness alongside the maturity that a decade provides. A historical snapshot of pre-prohibition American whiskey craftsmanship, best approached slowly and respectfully.
