Member Ratings and Notes
Chris
 
N: Cinnamon buns, butter, raisins, vanilla, traces of oak.   Classic Stitzel-Weller Old Fitz nose, really nice.
P: Velvety, maple syrup, very full and thick, lots of spice.  Rich.
F: Lots of sugar, but then leaves a peculiar burning in the back of the throat.
Besides the odd hotness in the finish, pretty good stuff, this bottle has held up over time. 
Sku
 
Nose:  sweet corn with yeasty notes.
Palate:  Mild and sweet to start with, growing heat as it goes down, wheat and chewy oak flavors.  Finishes with the wheat.

Trademark Stitzel-Weller flavors.  Good stuff.  B/B+
