My Analysis and Critique of Whiskey

My approach to whiskey evaluation is anchored in a positive anticipation for each tasting experience, withholding judgment until the spirit itself provides evidence to the contrary. The whiskey domain is expansive, fascinating, and replete with complex flavors that deserve a comprehensive and impartial assessment. While individual tastes naturally vary, no single preference is superior; each holds intrinsic value. Although I keep an appreciation for all whiskey varieties, I possess a particular fondness for bourbon and rye. My reviews will reflect honest, expertly informed opinions; however, perspectives may vary, and that diversity of opinion is both expected and welcomed.

Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon 7 Year Review & Tasting Notes

In an initiative to enhance consumer accessibility, Heaven Hill has introduced a new seven-year-old Old Fitzgerald, officially designated as a "new signature expression" and integrated into the permanent portfolio.

In contrast to the limited-edition Decanter Series, this expression is poised for regular availability and widespread national distribution. Its launch coincides with the unveiling a new brand website that will encompass the entirety of the Old Fitzgerald range. With a suggested retail price of approximately $60, this offering represents the most accessible selection within the current Old Fitzgerald portfolio.
