Camden Blankenship 3.0

Nose - Extremely subtle, unfortunately not in a positive sense. Some hints of toasted wood and hide are present, but truly unremarkable. Palate - The taste mirrors the nose, featuring many fundamental notes but possessing very little intensity. Finish - In conclusion, somewhat let down by this one; its lack of substance detracts from any potential intricacy and taste it ought to possess.

Clarissa Shepard 4.5

Aroma: Intense fruit and loam Taste: Dehydrated fruits Aftertaste: Persistent spice I would regularly purchase this if it were offered daily at $150. This is a suitable choice if you desire a dense, substantial serving.

Dane Michael 4.5

Nose: subtle and slightly earthy Palate: authentic smoky taste, hints of hazelnut and oak Finish: faint citrus notes at the end

Jase Guidry 4.5

An almost maple body with significant oak/wood presence. Vanilla finish with just the right amount of spice.

Alyce Applegate 4.3

Had it at a work event. Rich, sweet, smooth. Really great bourbon. Well balanced.

Joanna Christopher 4.5

This is the least mature Old Fitz I've sampled, yet it still offers considerable flavor
