Old Fitzgerald Bourbon and renowned potter and designer Jonathan Adler debuted their limited-edition Jonathan Adler x Old Fitzgerald Backgammon Set. 

As analog pastimes enjoy a resurgence amid a renewed desire to unplug, slow down and reconnect face-to-face, the collaboration from two icons puts a stylish new spin on a timeless game, ideally enjoyed with a superior pour.

Bringing together Old Fitzgerald’s storied heritage, celebrated for both substance and style since the late 1800s, with Jonathan Adler’s signature take on modern American glamour, the new, strikingly designed backgammon set transforms the classic game into a statement piece made for gathering around with good company and fine whiskey.

Jonathan Adler’s distinctive bold patterns and playful motifs seamlessly meld with unmistakable, classic Old Fitzgerald touches, from the brand’s signature shades of green to its brushed brass key motif. The latter nods to Old Fitzgerald’s longtime “Your Key to Hospitality” tagline, rooted in its origins and synonymous with the brand since the 1950s debut of its now-iconic decanter bottle, a fixture on well-set tables and bar backs for decades.

“Bourbon and backgammon have always been a timeless pairing, united by tradition, ritual and the belief that the best things are meant to be savored and enjoyed in good company – a sentiment at the core of Old Fitzgerald,” Leslie Word, Brand Manager of Old Fitzgerald, said in a news release. “Jonathan Adler was the ideal partner to reimagine this pairing through a modern lens, bringing his signature talent for turning everyday objects into conversation pieces to a set that celebrates Old Fitzgerald’s spirted heritage in an exciting new medium.”

“Design inspiration can come from anywhere, even a glass of whiskey,” Adler said. “The backgammon set I created with Old Fitzgerald takes my favorite game and makes it even more glamorous. Old Fitzgerald and I nailed it, if I do say so myself.”

The new set pairs with Old Fitzgerald’s signature Bottled-in-Bond 7-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Released last year as the brand’s newest year-round expression, the Bottled-in-Bond 7-Year-Old is made to be savored however you prefer your Bourbon – neat, on the rocks or in a favorite cocktail.

The Jonathan Adler x Old Fitzgerald Backgammon Set can be ordered now for $425 on the Heaven Hill Distillery Shop here, with select quantities also available on Jonathan Adler’s website here. Backgammon sets ordered by December 14 will ship in time for arrival ahead of the holidays.
