1849 Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Old Bourbon (1974 Vintage)

A classic from the historic Stitzel-Weller distillery, known for its signature wheated mashbill, which replaces rye with wheat to create a smoother, softer profile. Distilled in 1974 and aged for eight years, it was bottled at 90 proof and released as part of the 1849 series—named in honor of the year W\.L. Weller & Sons was founded. The '1849' label, introduced in the early 1970s, commemorates that founding year and reflects Stitzel-Weller’s commitment to refined, mellow bourbons during what many consider a golden era of American whiskey.
