Description
Very Very Old Fitzgerald 15 Year Old 100 Proof 1951
Distilled in the Spring of 1951, bottled in the Spring of 1966, includes original red bag
Old Fitzgerald was the flagship label of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, which under the direction of Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle created some of the most storied and sought-after bourbons in history. Ages for the whiskey ran from a mere 6 years old to 15 and even 18, though the last two were rare at the time they were bottled, in the 1960s, and vanishingly rare today. This bottle, from a barrel distilled in 1951 and bottled in 1966, is a superlative example of the Van Winkle craft both inside and out, complete with gold veining around the neck of the bottle.
1 bottle 4/5 quart (no original packaging)
