Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 9 Year (Spring 2025 Release) is the fifteenth national release in Heaven Hill’s prestigious Decanter Series. Distinguished by its signature green label, this edition features bourbon distilled in the spring of 2016 and meticulously aged for nine years at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville. As a wheated bourbon, it offers a chiseled balance of oak integration and soft, cereal-driven approachable character, presented in the series' iconic ornate glasswork.

The Technical Distinction

This 9-year release serves as a mid-tier structural anchor within the series, providing a bridge between the younger 8-year expressions and the ultra-aged 19-year rarities.

  • Wheated Mashbill: Composed of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley, resulting in a characteristically soft and creamy mouthfeel.
  • Bottled-in-Bond Integrity: Adheres to strict 100-proof requirements, distilled at a single distillery in a single season (Spring 2016) under government supervision.
  • Seasonal Identity: The Spring release is visually defined by the green label and tax strip, signifying its production and bottling transparency.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Apple pie crust, vanilla, and dried fruit. Developing layers of cinnamon and integrated wheat emerge alongside soft toasted cereal.

Palate: Full-bodied and texturally substantial. A front of toasted oak and vanilla bean transitions into mid-palate notes of buttery toffee, apple pie spices, and rich caramel.

Finish: Long and elegant. A signature closing of creamy viscosity, oak warmth, and baked apples fading into cinnamon spice.

The Decanter Series

The Spring 2025 release sits comfortably in the middle of the Decanter Series' 8–19 year age range. While Fall releases utilize a black label, the green label remains the calling card for Spring editions, highly sought after by vertical collectors.

"A structural masterpiece that defines the absolute peak of wheated bottled-in-bond consistency."
