The wheated recipe Pappy Van Winkle built his reputation on at Stitzel-Weller. Before the secondary market turned that name into a punchline, this was the everyday expression of that idea: swap the rye out for wheat and let the corn get soft and round. Every wheated bourbon people queue for today is downstream of this label.

About this bottle
Old Fitzgerald 7 Year is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon carrying the strictest guarantee in American whiskey: bottled-in-bond — one distillery, one season, 100 proof, the 1897 law that invented whiskey you can trust. Heaven Hill swaps rye for wheat in the mash, which lets the barrel speak in a softer voice: honeyed caramel and baked apple on the nose, vanilla and toasted oak across a round, weighty palate, a long finish with a whisper of baking spice. The art-deco decanter bottle earns its shelf space, but the whiskey inside is the argument — seven years of patience at full bonded strength. Released in limited runs and gone quickly; pour it neat for the wheated-bourbon devotee.
How to drink Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 7 Year
Reach for a Manhattan before a rocks glass — new charred american oak gives it enough backbone to stand up to sweet vermouth and bitters. This is a slow, occasion pour rather than an everyday one — save it for when you can give it real attention.
