Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 7 year Spring 2018 700ml
Notably, this bourbon’s aroma is quite striking and immediately engaging. At the forefront is a vibrant mix of fruit-forward and warmly spiced notes. Apricot, peach, and orange come first, offering summertime freshness. A deeper layer of cinnamon, toasted oak, and leather then balances these fruity tones. The result is an aroma that is layered with just enough interplay between its scents and comes with a decent amount of complexity.
A nicely layered and dessert-like flavor profile develops, opening with notes of honey graham crackers that provide a light, toasty, and sweet foundation. It’s quickly followed by the warm, spicy flavors of semi-sweet snickerdoodle cookies. This combination offers a comforting dynamic before transitioning to a delightful mix of cinnamon, vanilla, and dried fruit. The result is a fairly even delivery overall, which is both approachable and predictable.
Like the rest of the sip, the medium-length finish is well-integrated. Notes of raisin and cinnamon emerge first, offering a warm, gently spiced sweetness. These are joined by more grounded flavors of worn leather and toasted oak, adding depth and a touch of maturity that showcases the bourbon’s age. As the finish lingers, it leans slightly dry, with the oak becoming more prominent. Honey adds a final touch of sweetness and general smoothness. It’s a satisfying close that echoes what came before it.
