4/24/25 Proof Positive: Very Very Old Fitzgerald 1969
In this week’s special episode, Ben, Kyle & Joe open a true unicorn: Very, Very Old Fitzgerald. Distilled in 1957 by the legendary Pappy Van Winkle, and bottled by his son, Julian “Big Van” Van Winkle in 1969, this iconic bottle features 100% Stitzel-Weller distillate.
Today's proof positive is a hot one! A little bit about the juice: Each Barrel Proof release is distinct, and Batch A125 follows this tradition. The batch code reveals its story: "A" indicates the first release of the year, "1" signifies January, and "25" refers to the year 2025. Expect a rich flavor profile featuring notes of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and subtle spice, followed by a robust and warm finish. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a must-have for bourbon enthusiasts and collectors seeking depth, complexity, and bold character. Cheers!
Their most indulgent double-barreled expression. This bourbon undergoes an extended slumber in a second, custom-crafted barrel. Deeply toasted and lightly charred, it unlocks an unparalleled depth of flavor – a richness and complexity rarely encountered in American whiskey. Cheers!
