Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the fifteenth release in their award winning Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series. The Spring 2025 edition features a 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced in spring 2016 and bottled spring 2025. The release continues Heaven Hill’s legacy of premium bottled-in-bond offerings that showcase the distillery’s commitment to quality and tradition.
Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Decanter
The limited-edition bourbon is presented in the series’ signature ornate decanter with a green label, which is the hallmark color of all spring releases in the collection. The Old Fitzgerald brand and these decanters in particular are a real icon of American whiskey. The decanter pays homage to an original 1950s Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, continuing the tradition of distinctive packaging. Each bottle features the iconic key graphic that has appeared on labels since the 1940s alongside the brand’s slogan, “Your key to hospitality.”
“With each release of the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series, we aim to honor both the tradition and craftsmanship that define this storied label,” explained Heaven Hill Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll in the official press release. “This 9-year-old Spring 2025 edition showcases the richness of time. It’s a proud reflection of the bottled-in-bond legacy and Heaven Hill’s enduring commitment to excellence in American whiskey.”
Bottled-in-Bond Legacy For Premium Whiskey
Each decanter of Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond includes a tax strip that discloses production and bottling dates, maintaining the transparency that defines authentic bottled-in-bond products. To meet the bottled-in-bond criteria the whiskey must be produced at a single distillery during one distilling season, aged for at least four years, and bottled at precisely 100 proof (50% ABV). This certification was established by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 and remains a mark of authenticity and quality in American whiskey.
Whiskey collectors and enthusiasts should expect the Spring 2025 edition to reach store shelves in the coming weeks with a suggested retail price of $129.99. As with previous releases in this series, availability will be limited through allocated distribution.
