Comments:
Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 14 Year (Fall 2020) has a rich earthy, and malty flavor. It’s complex but not overwhelming with a little heat at the end. There’s a sweetness to the nose and palate with fruits, nuts and maple. Overall I really liked the flavor and would recommend it as a good whiskey to drink neat. It would be especially good as an after dinner dessert.
