Hirsch Selected Whiskeys recently announced the debut of its Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
The release marks the brand’s first-ever single barrel to hit the market. A limited batch of just 57 barrels, Hirsch‘s latest expression is aged for a minimum of six years in Bardstown, Kentucky in new American Oak barrels. The whiskey is non-chilled filtered, combining a mashbill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% malted barley.
In 1974, when A.H. Hirsch first commissioned his A.H Hirsch Reserve bourbon, his story became an inspiration to many, to never settle, keep an eye on the horizon and chase one’s dreams. He raised the bar and set the model for what whiskey should be. The Hirsch brand continues to honor that sentiment.
“The Hirsch brand aims to celebrate those who dare to take a new path and discover new passions, just as A.H. Hirsch did when he left his banking career to pursue whiskey and philanthropist. The Single Barrel release is reminiscent of the 400 barrels A.H Hirsch commissioned, yet even more limited and coveted than before with just 57 barrels,” says Luis Rivas Ball, American whiskey lead at Hotaling & Co. “At Hirsch, we are committed to sourcing quality whiskey that surprises and delights consumers, offering outstanding liquid that you can’t find anywhere else. Each release is an adventure and this first Single Barrel is perfect representation of where the brand plans to go in the future.”
Set to hit stores on Nov. 1, The Hirsch Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Release has a Barrel Entry ABV of 62.5% and will retail for $89.99.
