The Story
14 years. 100 proof. Bottled-in-Bond. Old Fitzgerald VVS Release 2018 — the second release in Heaven Hill's revived Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond decanter program, presented in the iconic flask-style decanter that defined the Old Fitzgerald brand for generations.
Old Fitzgerald was originally produced at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery under the ownership of the Pappy Van Winkle era before passing through multiple hands to Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill revived the BiB program in 2018 with age-stated releases in the classic decanter format — honoring the original presentation while delivering extended-age wheated bourbon at the 100-proof BiB standard.
The 14 Year VVS ("Very Very Special") 2018 is one of the earliest modern Old Fitzgerald BiB releases and the most age-forward of the early program years in the current Wooden Cork collection, which also includes 9yr Fall 2018, 10yr Spring 2024, 11yr Spring 2018, 11yr Fall 2021, 13yr, 14yr Fall 2020, 15yr, 16yr Decanter, 17yr, 19yr, 25th Anniversary, and the Pre-Prohibition 1917–1929 expression.
