To qualify, a bourbon must be the product of one distillation season, from one distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. It is one of the most stringent quality standards in American whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the history of Old Fitzgerald?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Fitzgerald was first registered in 1884 and became one of Kentucky's most storied bourbon brands. During Prohibition, it was sold to \"Pappy\" Van Winkle, and in 1999, Heaven Hill acquired the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the 19-year expression so rare?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond releases are limited to twice-yearly drops (spring and fall), and older age statements like 19 years represent a very small number of barrels that have been held for exceptional aging.
