Old Fitzgerald “Leprechaun Bottle” Vintage Decanter Bourbon (Spring 1968)

A rare and visually striking piece from one of bourbon’s most revered eras, the Old Fitzgerald “Leprechaun Bottle” is a true collector’s gem from the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. Bottled in the late 1960s, this ceramic decanter represents a time when Old Fitzgerald stood among the finest expressions of wheated bourbon—crafted with the same heritage that would later define some of the most sought-after whiskeys in the world.

Encased in a beautifully designed white ceramic vessel adorned with classic shamrock detailing and finished with elegant gold accents, this limited decanter captures both the artistry and tradition of vintage American whiskey. The original tax stamp, marked Spring 1968, remains intact, preserving its authenticity and historical significance.

Inside lies a 100 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, produced during the golden age of Stitzel-Weller—an era prized by collectors for its rich, balanced, and deeply complex flavor profiles. While many acquire this piece for its display value, it also represents a tangible connection to a legendary chapter in bourbon history.
