- Description
- Old Fitzgerald's 1849, bottled in the 1960s at 45.2% ABV, honours the founding of W.L. Weller Company with a bourbon from the Van Winkle stewardship era—a period when rye content and sourcing protocols defined the brand. The bourbon likely exhibits the spice, cherry, and oak character typical of wheated or high-rye bourbons from that production period, though exact cask history remains speculative. This is a collector's bourbon for those studying American whiskey heritage and the Van Winkle golden age.
