Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 14 Year (Fall 2020)

Really sweet vanilin coming in on the nose, some toasted almond, seems just a bit dusty as of very old oak. Amazingly pure and free of any ethanol notes for a 100 proof. The early front really springs the toasted oat/almond in a bursting sensation, following come middle sweet notes with a flash of sweet corn bread then burnt butter toast. This menage a troi of notes hangs on for the duration, you can get up walk out for a smoke and you will still have it as a reminder when you come back in. The sugars are a bit sparse comprised mostly of vanilla and feint caramel. I would be remiss not to mention the almost Bartons level of old oak mustiness trailing at the finish that reminds us this is indeed a well aged oak barrel product. All of that and an incredible smooth ending and the burnt almond butter cracker that lasts forever. Hard to get but well worth it.

Good, but not memorable or worth the hype

This is simply amazing. I’ve had all but 2 of these expressions and I think this one may just be my favorite. It blows the 16 out of the water in my opinion!

Neat. Nose is spicy butterscotch toffee. Taste is sweet caramel up front with a spicy oaky middle with a long spicy toffee finish. It’s very good.

Was really stupendous. I wrote my notes here before seeing the sites score and flavor profile. I can't believe they show this as lower on vanilla notes. It was a total vanilla bomb for me. Vanilla, mint and other herbal notes with a beautiful finish. Very Creamy Vanilla notes. The more I went through the glass, the more I enjoyed. Look for this!

Solid buttery bread in both the nose and the palate. That was a spot on description. Also has an incredibly smooth and flavorful finish. This one is well worth it, whatever it is.
