Boone's Knoll 1974 16 Year Old Straight Bourbon (AH Hirsch)

A legendary bottle of bourbon that has had a whole book written about itself: The Best Bourbon You'll Never Taste by Charles K Cowdery.

Boone’s Knoll is an export-only release of the legendary stocks of whiskey that Julian Van Winkle III and Gordon Hue acquired from the Michter’s distillery in the late 1980s. Along with Colonel Randolph, Boone’s Knoll is one of two defunct whiskey brands that they resurrected during their historic run of releases in the early 1990s.

Distilled in Spring 1974, this bourbon is bottled from a single 400 barrel batch commissioned by Adolph Hirsch and distilled under contract at Michter's distillery (then known as Pennco), just outside Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania. Hirsch was a former Schenley executive who had briefly worked at Michter's during his time there, and it is believed he commissioned the whisky as financial favour to the distillery, and actually had little plans for its use. So, it lay ageing in the warehouses for much longer than generally expected for a bourbon at the time. 

This script label gold wax topped squat bottle was bottled in the 1990s and is much more scarce than the newer gold foil capsue & humidor bottles.
