A.H. Riise
A.H. Hirsch 1974 16 Year Old Bourbon
(0.75l,
45.8%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Legends, myths, and Whiskey unicorns like this can only be born through the power of community, not marketing. The legendary offering before you is something you're lucky to get to taste once in your life and it ranks above Pappy 23 when it comes to price. It’s supposed to be the best Whiskey you’ll ever taste but let’s talk some facts, shall we?
It was distilled in early 1974 at the now silent Michter’s Distillery near Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania. The distillery eventually went bankrupt and this well-aged Bourbon had never been put to use. So, it was bought and Julian Van Winkle III bottled the brand — A.H. Hirsch Reserve. The labels from this edition will say bottled in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, and are known as the “blue wax”. Never tasting this one would just really be a terrible shame.

Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).
Limestone Branch Distillery, which produces Yellowstone Bourbon, also makes Minor Case Bourbon and Bowling & Burch Gin.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
