Old Fitzgerald 2024 VVS stands as one of the most coveted limited edition bourbons of recent years. Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky, this release is part of the storied Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Decanter Series, a range known for honoring the legacy of classic American wheated bourbons with deep maturation and refined craftsmanship.
This 2024 VVS expression was distilled in September 1999 and aged for 13 years in new charred American oak barrels before being held in steel tanks and finally bottled in early 2024. Its Very Very Special designation reflects both its exceptional quality and its role marking the 25th anniversary of Heaven Hill’s acquisition of the Bernheim Distillery, a pivotal moment in the brand’s history.
Bottled at 100 proof (50 % ABV) under the Bottled-In-Bond act, this wheated bourbon delivers a rich and complex sensory experience. Reviewers note a layered nose of vanilla, honey, and toasted oak, while the palate unfolds with deep caramel and baking spice sweetness balanced by orchard fruit and warm oak. The finish is long, smooth, and nuanced, leaving lingering notes of spice and oak character.
Highly limited and often sold out quickly on release, Old Fitzgerald 2024 VVS bourbon has also earned critical acclaim including being named World’s Best Bourbon at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards adding to its prestige among collectors and bourbon enthusiasts alike.
