- Excerpt: This is really good sipping whiskey. A little ice or water really drives the palate toward the vanilla/cherry creaminess with bitter winter spice barks leaning into espresso oils and more dark chocolate with a light leatheriness.

- Excerpt: The finish is heavy on the oak, and the rest of the pour is easy to enjoy. If you like big wheater character with a heavy, oaky finish, you're in luck.

Intro:
Distilled back in 2013, this is the newest release from Heaven Hill in its limited-edition Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series. Aged 10 years, this is the Spring 2023 release, made using Heaven Hill's wheated mashbill and bottled in the spring at 50% ABV as Bottled In Bond regulations require. With a 10-year age statement and a modest $140 price tag, this is enticing on paper. Can it live up in the glass? Let's dig in.
-
Nose:
Warm buttered bread, salt water taffy, sweet cream, cherry cordials, toffee and crème brûlée. Hell of a rich nose.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel with pleasant toffee, salted caramel, crème brûlée, honey and confectioners sugar. A touch of bitter oak on the back palate. Light pepper.
-
Finish:
Long finish full of oak first, cherry cola, toffee, pepper and a hint of ginger.
-
Overall:
Pleasant and full of fun. The finish is heavy on the oak, and the rest of the pour is easy to enjoy. If you like big wheater character with a heavy, oaky finish, you're in luck.
