The 2014 bottling of the premium selection of four roses that was garnered as a small batch and a one time limited edition for 2014 that is distinct from the previous small batch limited editions. The nose introduced warm aromas of allspice, vanilla bean, rich apricot, and stewed fruits. It is followed by a palate of bright raspberry flavors and hint of decadent, sweet maraschino cherry and light oak. If that isn't enough the finish is long with a notes of rich brown sugar and hints of cinnamon. This bottle is a combination of 15, 13, and 12 year old recipes. Due to this being a small batch limited edition, bottles are now scarce and a rarity in stores.

Back in the 1960s through the 80s, distilleries were having trouble selling their whiskey in bottles so they started creating unique bottlings through the use of Decanters. Old Crow, which was owned and produced by National Distillers created a full chess set of decanter bottles, complete with all pieces and the ability to send them postage to receive a carpeted chessboard as well. The whiskey inside is 86pf and age stated 10 years, but is among some of the highest rated whiskey by vintage enthusiasts that has ever been produced.

Note: Old decanters could possibly have some minor leakage during transit.  We will do everything to prevent leakage but some is frequently expected and we cannot be held liable for minor leakage.  Major issues - please contact us (such as decanter breakage, significant leakage) and please have pictures/video available.

Adding venerable malt aged more than 30 years further brings out the bouquet and adds body to the palate.

Named for Nikka's founding father Masataka Taketsuru, the 17 year old has long been coveted by the American market, which could only read the bombastic tasting notes from international travelers and whisky fans living abroad. The Nikka 17 is one of the most celebrated of the available portfolio and really brings the goods flavorwise—round and soft with dried fruits and an earthy, meaty flavor on the profile, this is not only of the best Nikka whiskies we've ever carried, but one of the best Japanese whiskies period.

With the looming possibility of discontinuation, the mere suggestion of a chance at savoring the gifted richness of Old Fitzgerald Very Special 12 year old bourbon is one we chomp a the bit for. A product of the proudly distinctive masters of Heaven Hill Distillery, this wonderfully represented whiskey is well worth a spot in any fine liquor cabinet. The aroma is an initial douse of sticky syrup blended with sun dried corn, hewn wheat, and a surprising bite of ripe banana creamed with caramel and vanilla bean. The flavor offers boughs of wheat over a love affair of creamed vanilla, caramel tendrils, and boughs of baking spice all carried by a thick splash of warm mash. The last note of Old Fitzgerald Very Special 12 year old bourbon is a hurrah of more wheated bourbon in bundles of caramel for a clean and neatly crisp vibrancy. Truly savory, meltingly sweet, Old Fitzgerald Very Special 12 Year old is the kind of liquor you will want to sip slowly, engaged in a transcendence of taste and soulful reflection

The nose is very rich and malty. It’s very fruity and a little tangy, with some subtle musty notes. There are hints of fresh cut grass, hazelnuts, caramel, and dark fruits. There’s a sweetness of maple syrup, fig, caramel apple, and vanilla balanced with malt, yeast, and a dash of pepper. It’s like a fresh baked pie in a glass. The mouthfeel is very buttery and smooth with a little heat on the finish.

This 30th anniversary edition is a joy to sip even at almost 126 proof. The whiskey is smooth and creamy, with notes of vanilla, baked pears, cinnamon, leather, and a touch of smoke, plus enough heat to remind the imbiber that it's still a Booker's.

"The Rye Project" is anchored by a very low-content (51%) rye whiskey distilled in Indiana, aged in new American oak for 6 years, then transplanted to Sonoma County for additional aging.

This initial low-rye whiskey was blended with additional Rye barrels selected from the renowned Willett Distillery.  The majority of the resulting blend is Willett's 6 and 7 year Rye. 

To get there, Wolves Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic and Willett Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen selected 6 and 7 year old barrels of Willett straight rye whiskey with a 74% rye mash bill. The barrels were pulled from Willett warehouse A, South Rick 14, and warehouse H, South Rick 6. 

"We want to deliver straightforward and balanced expressions of the best rye in the world, in a lower-rye format," explained Wolves Co-Founder Jon Buscemi. "We started from a place of sweet more than spice, and built from there."

"The depth and complexity of this rye whiskey is unique and consistent with the elite quality produced by the Willett house," noted Buscemi. "We liked what was happening at 103 proof and bottled Batch One there. We were very fortunate to partner with Drew for our first run of Rye. " 

"The collaboration whiskey developed out of a friendship," noted Kulsveen. "I met the Wolves guys at a bourbon and cigar event in Bardstown a few years ago and our relationship grew from there.  The project was born out of the good times we've had together and will certainly fuel future celebrations. The Wolves team pays attention to every detail - down to the cork" 

The custom cork top was inspired by the knob of a baseball bat that is a family heirloom of Jon Buscemi. The textured label was created in partnership with a bespoke wine label producer in Sonoma County.

Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series, the legacy of Old Fitzgerald lives on in our other wheated Bourbons expressions: Larceny Small Batch and Larceny Barrel Proof.
