Very Old Fitzgerald 1954 Bottled in Bond 8 Year Old Bourbon 100 Proof / Stitzel-Weller Half Pint
This is the 8 year old Very Old Fitzgerald, distilled at Stitzel-Weller in 1954 and bottled in 1962, one of the last years the distillery was managed by Julian Pappy Van Winkle.
These Van Winkle era bottlings from Stitzel-Weller are incredibly sought after, making the “A Collector’s Item” slogan on the label a particularly sharp piece of foresight.
