Description

A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Old 91.6 Proof 1974


Distilled in the spring of 1974, ullage: high shoulder, hairline crack around top of capsule, capsule remains intact

 

Because Julian Van Winkle only bottled A.H. Hirsch on demand, and because he had limited supplies available, there is a wide variation from release to release. For example, this bottle, with its blue wax, represents a deviation from the gold wax he had used beforehand, while its green-tinted glass is among the first times he would use that style of bottle – one that he would later use for his own Van Winkle line of whiskey. A true must-have for bourbon collectors.
