A. H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year (Gold Foil) 1974 750mL

A. H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Gold Foil is a historic bourbon tied to 1974 distillate from Michter's Pot Still Distillery in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, later bottled after long maturation as one of the most discussed old American whiskey releases in the secondary market.

From the Producer

The 1974 distillate that became A. H. Hirsch Reserve was laid down at the Michter's Pot Still Distillery, a historic Pennsylvania site that later closed, before the whiskey was acquired and bottled under the Hirsch name after extended barrel ageing. Because the distillery is no longer operating, this stock cannot be replicated, which is part of why the release is closely tracked by collectors of old American whiskey.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Dried fruit, leather, beeswax, honey, old oak and the mature savoury depth associated with long-aged bourbon.
• Palate: Rich and layered, with caramel, dried fruit, tobacco, citrus peel and well-integrated mature oak.
• Finish: Long, old-school and persistent, carrying nutty oak, spice and lingering sweetness.

Best For

Serious bourbon collectors, rare-whiskey gifting and tasting line-ups where historic distillery provenance matters as much as flavour.
