Old Fitzgerald 14 Year Bottled-in-Bond is a 14-year wheated bourbon from the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond decanter series, released each Spring and Fall by Heaven Hill. Encased in a decanter inspired by the original 1950s Old Fitzgerald diamond design, bottled at 100 proof under the BIB designation, and made at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville. Old Fitzgerald has a distilling pedigree first registered in 1884 and later associated with Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle during Prohibition.

Old Fitzgerald is one of the historically significant wheated bourbon brands, with the wheat-grain mash bill (rather than the more common rye) producing the softer, sweeter, more delicate character that defined the original Pappy Van Winkle-era Stitzel-Weller bourbons. The 14-year age statement places this firmly in the prestige range of wheated bourbon, with the Bottled-in-Bond designation guaranteeing minimum 4 years aging and 100 proof bottling under a single distillation season.
