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.

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.
Nose: subtle and slightly earthy Palate: authentic smoky taste, hints of hazelnut and oak Finish: faint citrus notes at the end
An almost maple body with significant oak/wood presence. Vanilla finish with just the right amount of spice.
Had it at a work event. Rich, sweet, smooth. Really great bourbon. Well balanced.
This is the least mature Old Fitz I've sampled, yet it still offers considerable flavor
