1974 A.H. Hirsch Reserve 19 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

A.H. Hirsch Reserve 19 Year Old Bourbon 1974 

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.

Distilled in Spring 1974, this bourbon is bottled from a single 400 barrel batch commissioned by Adolph Hirsch and distilled under contract at Michters distillery (then known as Pennco). 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 aging in the warehouses for much longer than generally expected for a bourbon at the time. 

This 19 year old was bottled in 1993 by Julian Van Winkle, and he has stated that around 720 were bottled. 

Crafted with meticulous care and aged to perfection, this exquisite bourbon embodies the essence of tradition and excellence.

Elevate your tasting experience as you indulge in the rich, amber hues of this rare gem, a testament to its two decades of patient aging in charred oak barrels. With each sip, you'll be transported to the rolling hills of Kentucky, where bourbon-making is not just a craft, but a way of life.

The aroma tantalizes the senses, with notes of toasted oak, caramel, and vanilla dancing delicately on the nose. As the whiskey caresses your palate, layers of complexity unfold, revealing flavors of dried fruits, baking spices, and a subtle hint of leather. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a warm, lingering embrace that beckons another sip.

Whether you're a seasoned bourbon connoisseur or an adventurous newcomer, the 1974 A.H. Hirsch Reserve is sure to captivate your taste buds and ignite your passion for exceptional spirits. Add this rare and coveted bottle to your collection today, and embark on a journey through time with every pour. Cheers to indulgence, sophistication, and the timeless allure of fine bourbon.
