A. H. HIRSCH Reserve Pot Still 15 Year Old Gold Wax
type: Product
description: The A.H. Hirsch Reserve originated with Adolph Hirsch, a former Seagram’s executive who commissioned a production of Pennsylvania pot still rye whiskey in 1974 at the Michter’s Stiegel-era distillery in Schaefferstown. This historic site is considered one of America’s oldest distillery locations, with roots extending back to before the Revolutionary War. Produced from a rye-forward mash and distilled in authentic copper pot stills, the whiskey was placed into barrels by Hirsch and largely left untouched as Michter’s began experiencing financial problems. After the distillery closed in 1989, the remaining barrels were purchased and bottled as A.H. Hirsch Reserve, preserving the whiskey just as Hirsch had laid it down 15 years earlier. The finished whiskey stands apart from nearly every other American release. It is an authentic pot still rye distilled in 1974 at a Pennsylvania distillery whose traditional copper pot still methods, dating back to the pre-Prohibition era, had nearly disappeared elsewhere in the country. Julian Van Winkle III, a member of the renowned Van Winkle bourbon family, also contributed to the preservation and distribution of the Hirsch Reserve, further linking the bottle to one of the most respected names in American whiskey. The Gold Wax edition, presented in a 700ml European export bottle, represents the Continental release of this historic spirit. “Perfect Wax” is the term collectors use for bottles with a completely intact, undamaged wax seal, representing the highest condition grade within the Hirsch collector market.
