Description

A.H. Hirsch Reserve 15 Year Old 95.6 Proof 1974


Green glass , gold wax, 1990 Release, Japanese Import, distilled 1974, ullage: top shoulder, front label very slightly stained


Many of the early releases of A.H. Hirsch appeared in small batches, which Julian Van Winkle III bottled on an almost order-by-order basis. There was little consistency in label design, and as a result, there is great variety among the early bottlings. This bottle is a case in point: Though it is the same age as the previous Hirsch releases, its label shows the Hirsch name in a stylized cursive script – a small difference that nevertheless makes this bottle a prized possession.


1 bt 75cl (nop)
