Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon Quart (Stitzel-Weller)
Distilled Spring 1973 | Bottled Fall 1979 | 100 Proof

A remarkable piece of bourbon history, this Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond release was crafted at the iconic Stitzel-Weller Distillery during one of its most celebrated eras. Distilled in Spring 1973 and bottled in Fall 1979, this expression adheres to the strict Bottled-in-Bond Act standards—aged at least four years, produced in a single distilling season, and bottled at 100 proof under government supervision.

This vintage showcases the hallmark wheated bourbon profile that made Old Fitzgerald legendary—rich, rounded, and exceptionally smooth. The extended aging brings forward deep layers of caramel, vanilla custard, honeyed sweetness, aged oak, dried fruits, and subtle leather, complemented by gentle baking spices.

The rare quart-size format adds another layer of collectibility, making it highly desirable among serious bourbon collectors and enthusiasts. Bottles from this Stitzel-Weller era are increasingly scarce, prized not only for their flavor but for their connection to a golden age of American whiskey-making.

A timeless addition to any top-shelf collection, this is bourbon history in its purest form.
