- Description
- Very Old Fitzgerald's 1954 distillation, bottled in 1962 after eight years in wood, represents American bourbon whiskey from an earlier era of production. The exact flavour profile remains subject to individual bottle variation given the vintage and age of this 60-year-old bottling. At 50% ABV, this is a piece of whiskey history for collectors and those fascinated by bourbon's evolution. Handle with the respect due to a rare spirit of considerable age.
