Lot Details
Description
Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old 100 Proof
Distilled in Fall 1959, bottled in Fall 1969, ullage: high shoulder
Distilled in the Fall of 1959 and bottled in the Fall of 1969, this bottle represents the pinnacle of the Van Winkle era at Stitzel-Weller. It is everything that the company’s president, Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle, wanted out of a bourbon: a wheated mashbill, 100 proof, and a decade in age. Unfortunately, Van Winkle would never have seen this particular bottle – he retired in 1964 and died in 1965.
1 4/5 quart (opc)
