I was very lucky to get a bottle of last years 9 year old. Walked into the store just minutes after it was delivered and paid MSRP. The only bottle I have ever seen and will probably never see another unless I win a lottery. It is good but not great. But it looks great, front and center on one of my Bourbon shelves.

I see these in stores, and as tasty as they sound, seeing a price tag that's double my student loan payments, if not more, it's hard to justify that kind of purchase. I get that a big chunk of the SRP is the actual decanter, which is fancy as all hell, but dang, that is a literal investment.

Thanks for the video. Always enjoyed the old Fitz bib before it was discontinued. Been enjoying another wheater with Makers Mark CS 21-05. Hard to beat for the price right now.

I live in an ABC state which sucks about 360 days a year. The only exception is that day you fall into something amazing because they can only charge retail (no markups). I went to two store grand openings this summer and got there EARLY (like I didn’t go to sleep that night early). I was able to grab the 8 and 9 year and my girlfriend came and got a $38 ETL and a $50 CYPB. The rest of the year it’s all shelf turds but every once in a while you get lucky or, in the case of getting in the grand opening line at 2am, make your own. Hopefully I’ll see this one too either in a lottery or when the next store opens 🤞

Just picked the new old Fitzgerald 11 up myself. Kroger wine and spirits in Lexington Kentucky got them in stock while I was there. I said I wanted to buy one. The lady said “Well I have to get them stocked in first, it’ll be a min”. I stood there for an hour and watched her before she was ready. Lol… Well worth the wait to get it at retail.

I was lucky to get this one yesterday, first Old Fitz I've ever had. For me it was more Chocolate Chip cookie than Fruit Cake. I'll have to sit down with my tasting journal and really dig around with it.

Got to try both at a tasting in Vegas, both are very tasty. I am no means an expert but trying the 8 yr first and then the 11 yr I found (as did my brother) myself going back to the 11 yr and really enjoyed it more than the 8 yr. In all reality if I could find both as Fred said “fuck it” I’d buy both and not have to make a decision

Would love to taste some, but it is only available by Lottery here in VA. Like other "special release" Bourbons, it seems like you are paying way up for the bottle.

I think 8-15yr is always a sweet spot. Anything above 15yr you are flipping a coin if it got better or got worse by keeping it that long in the barrel. Just my 2 cents.
