AH Hirsch Bourbons
View Full Description [+ Read More]
A. H. Hirsch bourbon originates from a single legendary distillation run completed at the Michter's distillery in Sheavely, Pennsylvania in 1974, making it one of the most historically significant American whiskey releases ever bottled. Sourced by Adolf Hirsch and aged in limestone-rich Kentucky warehouses, the whiskey was released across multiple expressions distinguished by age statements ranging from 15 to 20 years and wax seal colors - gold, blue, and red - that now serve as collector identifiers. Older releases like the 20 Year Red Wax and the 19 Year carry deeper oxidative and oak-driven complexity, while the 15 Year Block Letter Gold Wax first release represents the earliest commercial expression of this storied distillate. The 25 Year Rye offers a rare departure into high-aged rye territory from the same era.
