Old Fitzgerald Bonded Bourbon

(100 proof) DSP #1 – Bernheim, bottled DSP 31 – Heaven Hill, bottled 2013? $16

Golden amber color. Candy floss, honey and golden citrus on the nose, not sharp. Typical cream of wheat/plaster of Paris sweetness as well. Oily and slightly viscous, with alcohol burn fading into maple and corn sweetness at first, then more citrus and dusty-wheaty notes. The empty glass smells like bananas. Incredible value, if you like wheat Bourbons and can find it.

Very Old Fitzgerald 12 Year Bourbon

(90 proof), bottled 2009? $30

Moderate amber in color. Creamy nose, vanilla and marzipan, old furniture finish. The decrease is alcohol is evident, but there’s a drag of wood tannins across the front of the palate that takes a moment to turn from furniture shop (e.g. good wood aromatized by hot metal) to the cream of wheat sweetness. There’s some ornamentation of green spicy notes that must be from the wood, and this just feels heavier and more contemplative.

Old Weller Antique Bourbon

(107 proof) $26.50

    What type of Madeira? Sure, there's a brand but there's a wide range of sugar content from dessert-like to bone dry acidic with all the different flavor variables from the different noble grapes used.

  • Re The Prestidigitator, 11 hours ago drinkingandthinking commented:

    had to go with a boring london dry but this was top notch anyway! Creamy and delightful

  • Re Mondrian, 22 hours ago Craig E commented:

    Is the powdered raspberry intended as a sprinkle atop the drink, or adhered to the rim?
    (And in either event, is "oz." the correct unit there?)

  • Re Jungle Bird (Jason Alexander), 1 day ago yarm commented:

    I've always known this as the Commando Bird dubbed after Jason's nickname of Tiki Commando due to his military service before bartending.

    This is good, like a Black Manhattan with a little more complexity. Will make again.
