Why do we love this whisky?
This new kid on the Hirsch block, first released in 2022, is a blend of 95% 3 year old and 5% 8 year old whiskey, from a run of about 160 barrels. The respective mash bills, inspired by their A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 year old legendary whiskey, are 74% corn, 18% rye and 8% malted barley and 72% corn, 13% rye and 15% malted barley.
The resulting whiskey is smooth – seriously smooth! It seduces the palate with incredible softness, even at 100 proof, it slides across the tongue as soft as 80 proof. The traditional bourbon sweetness is kept in check by earthier notes of mature oak and dried herbs, with hints of orchard fruit, dark chocolate, honey and spice. This is in the wise words of Whisky Advocate ' a very nice sipper' indeed.
