Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- Jefferson's Tropics Aged in Humidity: Jefferson's sent barrels to the Singapore jungle for a year and a half, and the humidity shows. It is creamy and fruit-heavy, with tobacco, leather and baking spice running underneath.
- 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 Jefferson's Tropics Aged in Humidity if you want an unusual, tropical-aged bourbon with creamy fruit and tobacco at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
- 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.
