About Ha Old Fitzgerald 17 Yr Bib Decanter
The Old Fitzgerald 17 Year Bottled-in-Bond Decanter is a premium wheated bourbon from Heaven Hill Brands, distilled from a mash bill of approximately 68-75% corn, 20% wheat, and 12-5% malted barley, aged 17 years in new charred oak barrels, and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) to meet strict Bottled-in-Bond standards—produced in one season at one distillery and aged at least four years in a bonded warehouse. What makes it special is its extraordinary depth from nearly two decades of aging, delivering layered elegance with softened sweetness from the wheated recipe, bold oak influence, and rare decanter packaging in this ninth release, the first 17-year expression in the series. Ideal for collectors, bourbon enthusiasts, and those seeking ultra-aged wheated profiles akin to Pappy Van Winkle but more accessible at $150 for 750ml. In its category, it stands out for complexity and balance over spicier high-rye bourbons, offering rich fruit, vanilla, and caramel at a competitive price point versus scarcer 17-year rivals.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Layers of red fruit like cherry and raspberry mingle with vanilla bean, toffee, aged oak, and subtle baking spices or walnuts. Notes of peanut brittle, chocolate, dusty linen, and musky leather add depth and barrel character from 17 years aging. Fried dough, apricot, and vibrant sweetness make it inviting and punchy.
👅 Palate
Bold yet balanced with cherry, fig, strawberry jam, French vanilla, and caramel richness, complemented by aged oak and creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of peach flambé, oily caramel, dark chocolate, spices, and spearmint unfold smoothly, drinking full despite proof. Thick texture evokes rickhouse surround with prune, angel food cake, and cinnamon sizzle.
✨ Finish
Long, dry, and warm with lingering leather, cigar box, vanilla custard, butterscotch, nutmeg, and cloves. Oak-forward yet never bitter, with caramel chocolate sweetness and subtle heat.
