Old Fitzgerald
Old Fitzgerald is one of Kentucky’s most historic bourbon names, with origins dating back to 1870. The brand was originally associated with John E. Fitzgerald and later became one of the most important labels connected to Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle and the famous Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville. Old Fitzgerald helped establish the reputation of wheated bourbon, replacing rye with wheat in the mash bill to create a softer, rounder style.
