Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 11 Year (Spring 2018)

This weekend is a celebration so figured, “what the hell?” Been trying got find OF (any year) in the wild in VA and no luck. Nose: very sweet — vanilla, frosting, caramel, honey Palate: smooth, sweet, bit of caramel apples Finish: has a touch of spice/kick (though that was after consuming a bit of smoked BBQ brisket / burnt ends, which may have brought out some spicer flavors) Wouldn’t seek it out again for other than MSRP, but still a very good bourbon 👍

Nose: Sweet Oak, caramel, with a bit of HH nuttiness. Palate: Sweet oak, vanilla, with a hint of a tropical fruit (maybe mango), the nuttiness is here as well. Finish: Pretty long for 100 proof. The sweet vanilla note shines with a bit of smoke on the very end.

Thanks Zach, slightly better than 9
