Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond 7 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond 7 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is Heaven Hill's wheated bourbon the old-fashioned way: 100 proof (50% ABV), aged a full 7 years, bottled under the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
This is the signature year-round Old Fitzgerald expression announced by Heaven Hill in June 2025: a single distilling season (this release distilled Spring 2018), aged 7 years in new charred American oak, and bottled at exactly 100 proof — the bonded guarantee of one distillery, one season, and no shortcuts. The mash bill is Heaven Hill's wheated recipe (68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley), and the ornate decanter-style bottle nods to the collectible Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series. It took a Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Tasting notes (official Heaven Hill copy): graham cracker and honey on the nose; fresh bread, brown sugar, and baking spice on the palate; a finish of brown sugar and cinnamon fading into oak.
Why buy Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond? Because bonded wheated bourbon at a full 7 years is increasingly rare at this proof — this is the everyday-drinking answer to the allocated wheater hunt. Compare it with other bourbon whiskey at Del Mesa Liquor, browse the Old Fitzgerald brand collection, or explore more whiskey from Bardstown.
Serving note: neat or with a few drops of water to open the brown-sugar mid-palate; a superb old fashioned base.
