Description

A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Old 45.8 abv 1974


Green Glass, gold wax, Japanese Import, ullage: high shoulder front label lightly stained


This bottle is among the first of the A.H. Hirsch line to carry a 16-year-old age statement. Around the same time this whiskey was bottled, most of the remainder was placed in steel tanks to stop the aging process. There were multiple bottlings of this particular expression, some with a clean wax line, others with a significant drip. All are near-priceless examples of this storied line of bourbon.


1 bt 75cl (nop)
