This extraordinarybourbonhad a long, dramatic journey from its inception to your glass. In fact, the journey behind A.H. Hirsch Reserve speaks volumes about why it’s not just the finest American bourbon ever made, but indeed ararenational artifact.

The sublime, amber-colored whiskey in this bottle was distilled in 1974 in the small copper pot-stills ofMichter’sDistillery.
