Very Very Old Fitzgerald 12 Year Old 86 Proof 1955
Distilled in Fall 1955, bottled in Fall 1967 at Stitzel-Weller Distillery, ullage: top shoulder
Old Fitzgerald was the flagship brand of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, led by Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle. The whiskey came in a variety of ages, and in 1964, the same year he retired and a year before he died, Van Winkle changed the name on the whiskeys 12 years and older to Very Very Old Fitzgerald. The 12-year-old in particular is widely considered one of the greatest wheated bourbons ever produced, especially those bottled in the mid-1960s, such as this one.
