Old Fitzgerald 11 Year delivers a rich yet refined wheated bourbon profile. Aromas of caramel, vanilla, honey, toasted oak, and dried fruit lead into a smooth palate of toffee, brown sugar, vanilla bean, baking spice, dark fruit, and seasoned oak. Eleven years of maturation provide substantial barrel depth while the wheat contributes a softer sweetness, leading into a long, balanced finish of caramel, vanilla, fruit, spice, and lingering oak.
