Description

Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old 100 Proof 1955


Distilled in Spring 1955, bottled in Fall 1965 at Stitzel-Weller Distillery, capsule slightly worn, shoulder label slightly peeling at top corners, front label minimally frayed, Bottled expressly for Leo Carlin


This bottle represents the pinnacle of the Van Winkle era at Stitzel-Weller, as it represents everything the company’s president, Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle, wanted in a bourbon: a wheated mashbill, bottled at 100 proof, and aged for a decade. Unfortunately, Van Winkle would never would have seen this particular bottle – he retired in 1964 and died in February 1965.
