A.H. Hirsch 1974 Reserve 16 Year Old GOLD WAX Straight Bourbon

**This was the last distillation and bottling release overseen by Julian Van Winkle III before being purchase by Sazerac so its considered a collection item. This extraordinary bourbon had a long, dramatic journey from its inception to your glass. In fact, the journey behind A.H. Hirsch Reserve speaks volumes about why it's not just the finest American bourbon ever made, but indeed a rare national artifact. The sublime, amber-colored whiskey in this bottle was distilled in 1974 in the small copper pot-stills of Michter's Distillery. Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, the distillery originated in the mid-1700's when Kentucky was just a twinkle in Daniel Boone's eye. It is quite justifiably listed as a National Historic Landmark.
