Have you heard of the HIRSCH name before? If you have been following us, you likely heard about it a few years back in our in-depth feature. If you are whiskey lover, you may know it as one of the most rare release of all time: A.H. HIRSCH 16 Year. The brand has been revived by Hotaling & Co. and they continue to pay homage to that legacy whiskey by pushing the envelope. Their latest release is HIRSCH White Label Single Barrel. We give it a taste for Day 7 of Bourbon Heritage Month.

Jake’s HIRSCH White Label Tasting Notes

Closing Thoughts
I think HIRSCH did a really good job selecting this traditional, high corn bourbon. They identified an easy sipping single barrel which features satisfying tasting notes that will make you want more!
