Federal regulations in the United States (27 C.F.R. 5 to be specific) require that bourbon be made from a mashbill of at least 51% corn before being aged in new oak barrels and bottled at 80 proof or higher. Hirsch Small Batch High Rye is aged in new, charred American oak barrels for eight years. Their whiskey gets its name from Adolf Hirsch, a former executive of the Schenley Co. who bought some aging barrels of bourbon from the famed Michter's Distillery before it closed in 1988. Distilled in Spring 1974, this legendary bourbon has had a whole book written about it: "The Best Bourbon You'll Never Taste" by Charles K Cowdery.

Size: 750mL
Proof: 91.6 (45.8% ABV)

Tasting Notes

Rich sweetness on the nose, creamy vanilla and caramel, followed by oak spice. The palate echoes the nose with smooth complex layers, revealing soft notes, toffee and vanilla followed by a dry oaky finish with smoke, baking spices and a touch of black pepper.
