🎉 OLD FITZGERALD 7 YEAR REVIEW: Is This NEW Wheated Bourbon a MUST-BUY? 🥃

The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here! Today, we’re diving deep into the highly anticipated, non-allocated Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Bottled-in-Bond Wheated Bourbon from Heaven Hill. Is this new standard release bottle truly the “Obtainable Old Fitz” and a better buy than the limited-edition decanters?

In this in-depth whiskey review, we break down everything you need to know:

  • The Pedigree: 7 Years Old, 100 Proof, and strictly adhering to the Bottled-in-Bond standards.
  • The Mashbill: Heaven Hill’s famous wheated bourbon recipe (the same as Larceny!).
  • Tasting Notes: We search for those classic wheater flavors—sweet vanilla, graham cracker, honey, and baking spices—to see if the age statement truly shines.
  • Value & Hunt: Is the MSRP of around $60 worth the chase? How does it stack up against other BIBs and wheated bourbons like Weller Special Reserve, Larceny Barrel Proof, or even Heaven Hill 7 Year BiB?

If you’re a fan of Heaven Hill bourbon, wheated whiskey, or just looking for the best new bourbon release of the year, this video is a must-watch! Find out if the Old Fitzgerald 7 Year BiB deserves a permanent spot on your shelf!

We’ll also talk about the incredible story behind this local Kentucky distillery, its sourcing from an undisclosed location, and its bottling by The Bard Distillery.

Come along on our bourbon journey as we raise a glass to the people of Henderson, Kentucky, and celebrate this remarkable first release. The outpouring of local support was amazing, with bottles selling out by 2:30 PM across three different stores. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon aficionado or just starting your collection, you won’t want to miss this review!
