Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond has quickly proven to be yet another constantly solid release from Heaven Hill. The Fall 2020 release may not be an overall complex affair, but it completely nails its nose and palate with an amazingly balanced sip - one of the best of the year actually. Sadly, its finish is severely lacking. The Fall 2020 release isn’t going to impress you with much in the way of fireworks and with it, fully justify its price tag for some. Despite that, what you’re getting is an excellent crafted delivery of flavors that unfortunately falls flat in its final act.
