Very Very Old Fitzgerald 12 Year Bottled in Bond from the 1970s stands as an iconic release from the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery. This era marked the golden age for Stitzel-Weller, a distillery revered for producing some of the most sought-after wheated bourbons in history. Introduced as a premium expression, the “Very Very Old” label emphasized extra aging and exclusivity, with each bottle matured for a full 12 years. Bottled in Bond at 100 proof, this bourbon strictly followed the regulations set forth by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, ensuring both authenticity and quality. Collectors prize this release not only for its scarcity but also for its connection to the Van Winkle legacy, as Stitzel-Weller was closely tied to the Van Winkle family during this period. Today, this bottle is a touchstone for enthusiasts seeking a piece of American whiskey history.
