Old Fitzgerald 1849 10 Year Old Bourbon 750ml Stitzel-Weller Velvet Gift Set with Glasses

10 years. Bottled 1971. Stitzel-Weller. Velvet Gift Set with original glasses. Old Fitzgerald 1849 — the complete presentation format of the same 1971 Stitzel-Weller vintage available as a standalone flask in the collection, presented here in the original velvet gift box with the period glasses that were issued with the set.

The 1971 vintage marks the final year of Van Winkle family ownership of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery — the same production year as the Old Fitzgerald Prime Decanter Rip Van Winkle and the standalone 1849 flask also in the Wooden Cork collection. This velvet gift set is the most complete presentation format of the 1971 vintage available: the original velvet box, the bourbon, and the original period glasses together, over 55 years after original production.

Finding a 1971 Stitzel-Weller Old Fitzgerald set with the original box and glasses intact after more than five decades is genuinely rare. Most examples from this era have been separated from their packaging or consumed long ago.
