Very Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Bottled in Bond, released in 1968, stands as an icon of Kentucky bourbon history. Produced at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery, this bottle reflects a golden era when wheated bourbons began captivating collectors and enthusiasts alike. The classic “decanter” shape, tax strip, and original hang tag all mark it as a prized Bottled in Bond whiskey, carrying the federal guarantee of authenticity and quality from a time when such designations were rare. The 8-year age statement and Bottled in Bond status set this release apart, offering a glimpse into the meticulous standards of late mid-century bourbon. Today, original bottles like this are highly sought after by those who appreciate the legacy of Stitzel-Weller and the enduring reputation of the Old Fitzgerald name.
