VERY Old Fitzgerald Prime

[FacePlant]

   Special Memphis Sesquicentennial bottled in 1969, barreled in 62. Stitzel Weller DAP KY 16. Bottled at 86.8 proof.

 

Went to an outdoor concert last night and a sweetheart of a lady brought this, opened it, and shared it with friends. Of course the cork was ruined so she pushed the last chip down, covered the spout with cheesecloth (pictured), and gave everyone a round. It was soooooo smooth and slick it's hard to describe. Orange and cherry nose, citrus and baking spices with touch of licorice taste. Finish was quite short and tame.

A rare treat for a near stranger to share 50yr old whiskey with us, BUT it was very appreciated.

Generous lady for sure, and a nice experience for all who shared in that treat, I'm sure.   Kuddos to her for offering it up.

Nice! Whisk(e)y is useless until it's poured and shared.

Follow up to my original post. Got another taste (several). When we talked earlier in the week and I carried on about my appreciation she told me a family member stole the remainder of her case. She and friends enjoyed and shared 3 bottles before the debotchery. Keep your valuables looked up!
