Very Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Bottled in Bond 1963-1971 (Half Pint) stands as a symbol of the golden era of wheated bourbons, produced at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Bottled in 1971, this release reflects a period when Stitzel-Weller was under the stewardship of Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle, whose influence elevated the distillery’s reputation worldwide. The Bottled in Bond designation ensures it was distilled during a single season, aged for eight years, and bottled at 100 proof, meeting strict federal regulations for authenticity and quality. The half-pint format, paired with its elegant vintage box, makes this a sought-after relic for collectors. With its classic label design and tax strip, this bottle offers a tangible connection to a bygone era of American whiskey, capturing the essence of Stitzel-Weller’s legacy and the enduring allure of historic Kentucky bourbon.
