This is a 1977bottling of the 7 year old Original 107 Proofwheated bourbon. This was bottled by Somerset Imports at Stitzel-Weller, although by this point they had renamed it after flagship brand, Old Fitzgerald.

Julian ‘Pappy’ Van Winkle I who, having steered the Stitzel Weller Distillery safely through the wreckage of National Prohibition, established Old Weller alongside the newly acquired Old Fitzgerald labels and the flagship brands for the new Stitzel-Weller distillery in 1933. It was produced there for over 60 years, eventually being sold to the Sazerac Company in 1999, who distil it at Buffalo Trace using Pappy’s recipe to this day.
