Heaven Hill's wheated bourbon celebrating a quarter century of one of American whiskey's most beloved prestige programs. World's Best Bourbon winner.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series launched as a twice-yearly prestige program — Spring and Fall releases, each documenting a specific distillation season and age in the characteristic diamond decanter. The 25th Anniversary VVS 2024 marks a quarter century of this program with a special commemorative release that carries the weight of the full series history.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVVS — Very Very Special — is a designation borrowed from the diamond clarity grading scale, connecting to the decanter's diamond-cut design. The VVS designation signals this as a special edition within the program: a 25th Anniversary release with presentation and liquid that reflects the milestone. This edition was named World's Best Bourbon, the highest distinction in international whiskey competition, adding extraordinary credential to the anniversary release.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOld Fitzgerald uses Heaven Hill's wheated bourbon mashbill — wheat as the secondary grain rather than rye, producing a softer, sweeter, more caramel-forward bourbon. The Bottled-in-Bond certification guarantees single season, single distillery production at exactly 100 proof. Together, the wheated mashbill and BiB certification produce one of the most provenance-transparent and character-consistent expressions in Heaven Hill's portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill Bernheim Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Bottled-in-Bond\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25th Anniversary VVS 2024\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRecognition:\u003c\/strong\u003e World's Best Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/old-fitzgerald\"\u003eOld Fitzgerald expressions\u003c\/a\u003e or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does VVS mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Very Special — a designation borrowed from the diamond clarity grading scale (VVS = Very Very Slightly included, one of the highest clarity grades).
