Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 100 Proof (700ml)

A wheated Kentucky straight bourbon carrying the bottled-in-bond designation, this release from Old Fitzgerald was aged seven years and bottled at 100 proof, the standard required under the bond rules. Bottled-in-bond means the whiskey is the product of a single distillery and a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally supervised warehouse, so the age statement and proof here are guaranteed rather than approximate.

Bourbon at 100 proof tends to arrive with weight and structure, and seven years in oak gives it room to build depth without turning heavy. Expect the rounded, baking-spice character that comes with age, backed by the firm backbone the bottled-in-bond format is known for. Good neat or over a large cube, and sturdy enough to anchor an Old Fashioned where the extra proof carries through the dilution.
