Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 9 Year (Fall 2018)

In honor of #9 becoming the all-time leader in passing TDs.

Let this open up. I was absolutely distressed when I opened this and drank from it night one.... let it sit for about 2 weeks after some air got to it from 3 people drinking out of it. Holy cow the flavors come out. Super vanilla. It’s great after it opens up

The nose is full of charred oak along with baking spices that can bite if you’re not careful. Vanilla, brown sugar, caramel, leather and touches of ripe fruit and peanuts follow all nicely in balanced with each other. The oak and baking spices carry over strongly to the palate for a slightly dry and chewy mouthfeel, backed up by the sweeter notes of vanilla, brown sugar and caramel while pleasant notes of peanut fill the mouth with a little smoke coming at the end. The finish is medium long spicy along with oak that lasts as the rest of the palate fades behind it.

Smooth caramel, oak, and vanilla. Finishes with notes of char and a subtle burn.

The nose is light and lacking much depth, on the pallet it's nice, and then the finish hits you with an unexpected oak bomb which is really nice. AMAZING decanter bottle and the bourbon inside is great too, a must buy if not marked up in price too much.
