Flavor Profile Differences
Proof and heat dominate the difference.
- Jack Daniel’s 14 Year: The oldest Jack Daniel's in over a century, bottled near barrel proof. Butterscotch and bakery spice over rich leather, old oak and pipe tobacco.
- Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond: The decanter series, released twice a year at varying ages, and Heaven Hill's most serious wheated statement. Age shows as polished oak and stewed fruit rather than tannin, but you pay handsomely for the bottle.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Jack Daniel’s 14 Year if you want the oldest, strongest Jack Daniel's on the shelf with significantly more proof behind it and with an older age statement.
- Go with Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond if you want an aged, bonded wheater in a presentation bottle and the price is not the obstacle.
