A.H. Hirsch Reserve 15 Year Old 95.6 Proof 1974

Distilled on April 24th 1974, bottled on September 16th 1989 by Hirsch Distillers, Lawrenceburg KY, gold wax, green glass, Japanese import label adhered to rear of bottle, small hairline crack in wax capsule, front label soiled and slightly faded

This bottle ranks among the rarest bourbons ever produced. Its story began in 1974, when a Pennsylvania liquor executive named Adolph H. Hirsch ordered a run of bourbon from the Pennco Distillery, near Philadelphia. He later sold it to a Kentucky liquor retailer named Gordon Hue, who had it bottled by Julian Van Winkle III at his Old Commonwealth Distillery. They began in 1989 with 15-year-old whiskey, sealed in gold wax, making this bottle one of the very first released in what would become the most legendary runs of American whiskey ever.
