The oldest release in the legendary decanter series—19 years of wheated bourbon perfection, bottled at 100 proof.
Old Fitzgerald 19 Year Bottled-in-Bond represents the pinnacle of Heaven Hill's celebrated decanter series. Released in Fall 2022 as the tenth installment, this is the oldest expression the series has ever offered—a true collector's milestone. The Old Fitzgerald brand dates back to 1884 and rose to prominence under Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle, who introduced the signature wheated mash bill that gives this bourbon its distinctively soft, sweet character. Now produced at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, this 19-year expression was distilled in September 2003 and bottled in October 2022, sourced from select floors of Rickhouse F and Rickhouse X on Heaven Hill's main campus.
On the nose, rich aromas of cracked pepper and warm baking spices set the stage. The palate is full-bodied and luxurious—layers of rich butterscotch, cocoa powder, complex spices, and dried fig unfold beautifully. The finish is long and satisfying, with warm baking spices, milk chocolate, a peppery kick, and a graceful hint of toasted oak. Presented in an ornate decanter inspired by the original 1950s diamond decanter design, this bourbon is as stunning to display as it is to sip.
