Previous Fitz is sort of at all times a corn-heavy expression and this bottling doesn’t rock the boat. Notes of cracked black pepper, recent cereal (evenly sweetened), and honey are all dominant on the nostril, with an underbelly of cracked, outdated leather-based. Floral notes emerge and current themselves as dried, virtually showcasing a dried grass high quality, adjoining to potpourri with out being notably perfumed. On the entire the expression is quite extra austere than we’ve seen in earlier bottlings.
On the palate, an intense spice shortly takes maintain, although the preliminary rush is shortly tamed. The racy punch first resembles rye, however it’s whisked into the background by tempering notes of candy Corn Pops cereal, maple syrup, and a few milk chocolate. A peppery fringe continues to peek its head across the nook, although, weaving out and in of the expertise and protecting any underlying, darker fruit nicely in verify. The end is lengthy and leans closely on grassy, leathery austerity, making for one of the frontier-like whiskeys within the Previous Fitz Bonded lineup so far — for higher or for worse.
100 proof.
