This is the 8 year old Very Old Fitzgerald, distilled at Stitzel-Weller in 1960 and bottled in 1968. These Van Winkle era bottlings from Stitzel-Weller are incredibly sought after, making the “A Collector’s Item” text that often appeared on the shoulder label a particularly astute piece of foresight.

This particular bottle was labeled for a southern gentleman whos name was printed on the label.
