A.H. Hirsch Reserve Limited Edition Bourbon
Before it closed in 1988, Michter's in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, was the oldest licensed distillery in America. When the distillery closed, Adolph Hirsch bought up Michter's' cask aged reserves of its 16-year-old pot-stilled sour mash bourbon and stored them in steel vats for preservation. Distilled in 1974 and labeled as A.H. Hirsch Reserve, what's left of the stock is now owned by importer Henry Preiss, who plans to sell it off in a final edition of 1,000 bottles.
Each one will come numbered in a special mahogany humidor with a booklet on Michter's' history, two hand-blown glasses and a custom heavy metal tasting cork from France, and is expected to sell for $1,000 - $1,500 when it becomes available sometime this fall.
