Description

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


Green glass, blue wax, good level


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.
