This bottle of Very Very Old Fitzgerald 12 Year Old (Distilled in 1954, Bottled in 1966) is an exceptional, highly coveted holy grail of the bourbon world. This legendary expression represents the absolute peak of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery and was produced directly under the leadership of the iconic Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle before his passing in 1965. It holds immense historical significance as one of the earliest "Very Very Old" expressions legally permitted to be labeled 100 Proof Bottled-in-Bond past the traditional 8-year federal aging limit.
The moderate fill level speaks to natural evaporation during its decade-plus in bottle—a mark of authenticity and time spent maturing.
A collector's piece, this is a testament to pre-modern bourbon craftsmanship. This vintage expression represents a remarkable snapshot of American bourbon heritage, crafted during a golden era of bourbon production.
