Old Fitzgerald 9 - Good enough to blow Jimmy's mind

Davide and James join Adam on this week's episode of Bottle Bond. We talk about the history and odd legacy of how the Old Fitzgerald label came to be. From its origins as a private brand for rail magnates and steamship captains to the legendary Stitzel-Weller era under "Pappy" Van Winkle, we trace the liquid's evolution through the decades. We dive into the storied "Larceny" legend of John E. Fitzgerald, and discuss its modern-day rebirth as a coveted wheated bourbon in those iconic decanters. Whether you're a fan of the classic "Prime" or the high-end Bottled-in-Bond releases, this episode pours out the full story behind one of American whiskey's most enduring names.
