{"product_id":"old-fitzgerald-19-year-750ml","title":"Old Fitzgerald Bourbon 19 Year 750ml","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the nose, the 19-year-old Old Fitzgerald Fall 2022 batch is redolent in deep, old oak tones, slightly musty and earthy, while also having no shortage of sweeter elements, especially hinting at nut-infused toffee. I’m getting vanilla, nutty cocoa nibs and hints of coconut, along with assertive wood and slightly resinous characteristics. One definitely gets a sense of all those years in the wood here, though they’re nicely tempered on the nose by sweeter impressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the palate, though, the oak really starts to make itself felt in earnest. The central components here are big, spicy oak flavors and lots of baking spice, along with a more tart and puckering component also derived from the wood. There’s also sweetness of toffee and vanilla, suggesting pecan praline, but I find myself drawn back toward the slightly sour, oaky tang. There’s tannic dryness, but that’s not really what overtakes this Old Fitzgerald—it’s more the acidity of the wood itself. Granted, I do quite like the baking spice component, which has expressive notes of cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, twisted with chile pepper. But a minute after taking the sip, what I’m still largely tasting is tart oak on the tongue. No big surprise, at 19 years old, but it’s a note that the drinker will need to appreciate if they’re going to seek this one out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Fitzgerald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42063809413293,"sku":"11124","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/8411\/1789\/products\/old-fitzgerald-bourbon-19-year-750ml-945902.jpg?v=1710306942","url":"https:\/\/checkout.amsterwine.com\/products\/old-fitzgerald-19-year-750ml","provider":"Amsterwine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
