WHAT'S IN A NAME?
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF OLD
FITZGERALD BOTTLED-IN-BOND,
BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
THE MAN WHO STARTED IT ALL—
AND LEFT US WITH THE TASTE
OF LARCENY?
A LEGEND IN HIS OWN RIGHT
As a U.S. Treasury Agent who guarded the bonded rickhouses where whiskey is stored and aged, John E. Fitzgerald had access to some of the best Bourbon.
Seizing his opportunity, he used his keys to let himself in and thieve a few sips after nightfall.
When it came time to dump the barrels, some were found to be unusually light—and exceptionally smooth. These became known as 'Fitzgerald Barrels,' and were later bottled and sold as Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond.
Today, John E.
Fitzgerald's legacy
lives on through
Larceny and Old
Fitzgerald: honoring
one man's act
of
mischief that left the
world
with
extraordinary BOURBONS.
