A.H. Hirsch Reserve 1974 16 Year Old Straight Bourbon
Subtitle (S1)
Responsibility for the early bottling of A.H. Hirsch Reserve was entrusted to Julian Van Winkle III at his Old Commonwealth site in Lawrenceburg. However, his partnership with the Sazerac Company to secure supply for the Pappy Van Winkle brand in 2002 also saw bottling of the A.H Hirsch Reserve moved briefly to Buffalo Trace. This is one of the Buffalo Trace bottles, filled in 2003 for the new owners of the whiskey, Preiss Imports, who purchased it from Gordon Hue that year.
