AN AMERICAN TREASURE
A.H. Hirsch Reserve

16 Year Old Pot Distilled Sour Mash Bourbon

AMERICA’S FIRST
5-STAR BOURBON
*****

In the true tradition of its founders, Duncan Taylor & Co. Ltd. has the distinct pride to offer a very limited edition of the rarest Pot Still Straight Bourbon available. Among the finest U.S. Bourbon Whiskies ever produced, A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Old whiskey is of the absolute highest quality and heralded as the most stylish American bourbon.

Hirsch Reserve Bourbon whiskies hail from the time-honored pot-still tradition; a slower, more work intensive, more expensive relic of a bygone era. Distilled in the spring of 1974 and no longer produced, this rare bourbon is the only example of its type available today. Matured in barrel up to the time of bottling at 16 years of age, this whiskey deliciously illustrates the benefits of traditional cask aging.

A H Hirsch Reserve 1974, 16 Year Old, 45.8%

“THE EXPERTS SPEAK”

“…(the) one American whiskey that had the stuff to transport me to distilled spirit nirvana…”
- F. Paul Pacult, The Spirit Journal

“…big, rich, full-bodied, and very complex. To pass this whiskey by before it disappears would be unfortunate indeed…”
- 1998 Domestic Whiskey of the Year, Malt Advocate

“…an overwhelming aroma of vanilla. A legacy from long years in the oak…smooth, substantial and refined.”
- Richard Carlton Hacker, The Robb Report

“…most significant is its (Michter’s Distillery) continued use of the pot still, in which respect it is unique among American whiskey distilleries.”
- Michael Jackson, The World Guide to Whisky

“…outrageously savory, oak-laden, spicy and fruity…best kept secret.”
- Good Libations, Delta Sky Magazine

“…a true after-dinner drink, but it could be served as dessert itself. Serve it in a snifter – don’t add even a drop of water – and savor it for its complexity and sophistication.”
- Gary Regan & Mardee Haidin Regan, The Book of Bourbon
