The Very Old Fitzgerald 8 Year, bottled in bond at 100 proof, stands as a rare piece of American bourbon history. Distilled at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery, this particular bottling was released in 1949 after aging from 1941—an era considered the golden age of Kentucky bourbon. The label’s elegant script and signature tax strip reflect the post-Prohibition standards and attention to detail of Stitzel-Weller, a name revered by collectors. Old Fitzgerald was originally crafted for the luxury market, with this bottle symbolizing both exclusivity and the enduring legacy of “wheated” bourbon. Vintage features such as the “Connoisseurs of Fine Whiskey” inscription and prominent bottled-in-bond designation highlight its prestige. This bottle is a coveted artifact for any serious whiskey collector, capturing the spirit of pre-modern bourbon production and the remarkable heritage of one of America’s most storied distilleries.
