Hirsch

This is one of earlier 1990s bottlings of A.H. Hirsch Reserve. Julian Van Winkle's ledgers show that he was drip-fed orders for 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.

Responsibility for the early bottling of the 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 in 2002 also saw bottling of the label moved briefly to Buffalo Trace.

This is one of two bottlings of the A.H. Hirsch Reserve as 15 year old (although the second was actually 16 by the time it was bottled). This release features the label with block text, similar to the Van Winkle Special Reserve releases produced around the same time (the second has a script style label).

This is one of several batches of the A.H. Hirsch Reserve bottled as a 16 year old, and is affectionately known as the "Gold Wax." The same label was used by Buffalo Trace for the 2003 release, although that time featured a gold foil seal.

The majority of the A.H. Hirsch whiskey was placed in stainless steel tanks at 16 years old to prevent any further ageing, however a small amount was allowed to remain in cask. This is the only release bottled from the spirit when it was 19 years old.

This is the second bottling of the A.H. Hirsch Reserve as 15-year-old, and the whiskey was actually 16 years of age by the time it was bottled in 1990. The prior release featured a label with block text, similar to the Van Winkle Special Reserve releases produced around the same time.
