The Story
13 years. Bottled-in-Bond. 100 proof. 2024 VVS. Old Fitzgerald — the 13-year age statement in Heaven Hill's revived Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond decanter series, one of the most celebrated annual wheated bourbon releases in the current market.
The Old Fitzgerald BiB program was revived by Heaven Hill in 2018 after decades of dormancy, presenting wheated bourbon in the classic crystal decanter format at age statements that have ranged from 8 to 25 years across the program's annual releases. The 2024 VVS (Very Very Special) 13-year continues the series at a maturity point that balances the wheat-forward sweetness of the Heaven Hill wheated mash bill with meaningful oak integration.
Bottled-in-Bond is the gold standard American whiskey designation — a minimum 4-year age, 100 proof exactly, single distillery, single distillation season, stored in a federally bonded warehouse. The Old Fitzgerald BiB at 13 years holds the BiB designation while adding nearly a decade of additional maturation beyond the legal minimum, producing bourbon of substantially greater depth than the standard BiB program requires.
