Description

A.H. Hirsch Finest Reserve 20 Year Old 45.8 abv 1974


Capsule very slightly chipped around air bubble, sticker adhered to shoulder of the bottle, front label very slightly soiled


While Julian Van Winkle III placed most of the A.H. Hirsch bourbon in steel tanks once it hit 16 years old, he left a few barrels to continue aging. The result was this stunning 20-year-old, the oldest A.H. Hirsch ever. Released somewhere between 1994 and 1995 in Van Winkle’s signature green-glass bottles, it is considered the pinnacle of the A.H. Hirsch line and among the greatest of what American whiskey has to offer.


1 bottle 75cl (no original packaging)
