A.H. Hirsch Finest Reserve 1974 20 Year Old Straight Bourbon
Subtitle (S1)
This is one of Julian Van Winkle III's earlier 1990s bottlings of the A.H. Hirsch Reserve. Van Winkle's ledgers show that he was drip-fed orders of the whiskey and only produced limited case numbers to-order when requested by Hue. This has lead to a variety of different bottlings at different ages. This is the 20 year old red wax-topped bottling in Van Winkle's trademark green-glass cognac-style bottles. This is the only release bottled from the spirit when it was 20 years old, and the oldest too.
