Bottled in 155 and barreled in 1963
Very Old Fitzgerald was one of the rare instances where something labeled "A Collector's Item" actually did become a collectors item. It's probably because of that phrase and the fancy packaging that many bottles have survived to today. Old bottles of Old Fitzgerald are particularly valuable because of the association with the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, whose whiskey has become highly sought after by enthusiasts. Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle ran Stitzel-Weller after the repeal of Prohibition through 1964, and Pappy became a legend amond bourbon aficionados. Stitzel-Weller was closed in 1992, which also helped drive the distillery's mystique. In 2013, plans were announced to reopen. Very Old Fitzgerald was "Bottled in Bond," which means it was issued at 100 proof under US government supervision.
