Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 9 Year (Fall 2018)

9yr Carmel and alcohol on the nose. Wheat smell too. First sip totally says what my nose said: Carmel, alcohol, and wheat. Good, not amazing. 3 stars. Adding ice didn’t do this one any favors.

Thin nose of alcohol & spices. Delayed fuse until oak, caramel, and peanut show up, followed by a long spice finish. A nice dram with top notch presentation.

Little bit sweet, little bit Smokey. Smooth finish

Nose: Brown sugar, caramel, warm vanilla, deep wood, marshmallow, butter popcorn. Palate: Creme brulee, leather, the oak notes are very pronounced, there's a light berry note that comes through on the finish, with vanilla cream, finishing in very fleeting spice. Thoughts: A beautiful bourbon, that given its impressive bottle, rich heritage, and allocation leaves a little something to be desired. The nose and palate are both great, lots of rich flavors with butter and caramel really popping. Unfortunately, the biggest letdown is the definitively short finish. It seems to linger for just a second before just falling into the abyss. It took me a couple of sips to really get a feel for this bourbon and all its characteristics. A nice bottle to have in a collection, and a treat when you get to try it.

Nose: sweet toffee and caramel. Really pleasant. I didn't detect much else, but it gets high points from me because of how nice it is. No alcohol fumes. Taste: sweet, viscous, full. More caramel. Not much spice, but a little towards the back. No tannins. Finish: long, smooth, sweet, slightly spicy. Very nice whiskey!

So good! Good ole peanut brittle!
