Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 9 Year (Fall 2018)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 27, 2018 (edited December 30, 2018)Nose: Vanilla. Toasted oak. Nutty. Wood shavings. Coconut. Slight coffee. After sitting, more brown sugar and spice. Palate: Fruited. Spice. Leather. Peanut. Finish: Cinnamon spice, nutty, lingering. Overall: A balanced pour. I enjoyed the nose best, a lot going on there and I found it changes nicely as I sipped. Throughout the palate and especially on the initial finish, there was a nuttiness that seemed to pop. Not my favorite note to find in a finish, particularly when perceived to be so apparent. It’s hard for me to fall head over heels on my first tasting. I’ll update if this changes. To be more specific, I’d rate this bourbon around a 3.8/5. It’s in line with a lot of other Heaven Hill products I’ve tried, so if you’re a big fan of most of their offerings, I think you’ll likely really enjoy this. And yes, the decanter will look great on your shelf. A solid addition at retail, personally wouldn’t recommend venturing too far past. -
