A. H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Gold Wax 1974 is one of the legendary old American bourbon collectibles, associated with 1974 Pennsylvania distillate and long-standing cult demand. This is a provenance-sensitive bottle for advanced collectors
From the Producer
The 1974 distillate behind A. H. Hirsch Reserve was laid down at the Michter's Pot Still Distillery in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, a historic site that later closed, then bottled under the Hirsch name after extended barrel ageing. Because the distillery no longer operates, this stock cannot be replicated, which is central to the bottle's cult reputation among collectors of old American whiskey.
