Tasting Notes: The Elegance of Aged Wheated Bourbon
Based on early reviews and the profile of similarly aged Old Fitzgerald expressions, the 9-Year Spring 2025 release is anticipated to deliver a sophisticated and layered tasting experience:
Nose:A delightful bouquet of rich caramel, vanilla bean, and toasted oak, with underlying notes of soft baking spices, dried fruit, and a hint of honeyed wheat.
Palate:A classic wheated bourbon profile that is both rich and smooth. Flavors of buttery toffee, brown sugar, and crème brûlée dance on the palate, complemented by notes of cinnamon, leather, and a gentle oak structure. The 100-proof bottling provides a pleasing viscosity and warmth.
Finish:The finish is characteristically long, elegant, and warm. Lingering notes of sweet baking spices, toasted oak, and a whisper of cacao and pepper leave a memorable and satisfying impression.
