Hirsch “The Cask Strength” Straight Bourbon Whiskey

(750ml) (Previously $190) $99.99 View

Finished in 30-year-old XO Cognac barrels, this is a rare release from Hirsch, born from a collaboration between the Hirsch distillery in Kentucky and Hine Cognac. This small batch of 54 barrels started with 6-year-old bourbon from one of Kentucky’s most prized distillers. The hand selected casks were filled into ex-Hine Cognac casks, which had spent the last 3 decades aging one of France’s finest cognacs. There they slowly matured for an additional 18 months, adding complexity and richness to the already exceptional bourbon. This special bourbon has a mash bill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% malted barley. If you’re familiar with the Hirsch story, you’ll be able to deduce the origin of this whisky. Out of respect for the distillers we won’t explicitly mention the source, but it is undoubtedly the most collectible and sought-after distiller in Kentucky today. It’s an absolutely astounding product that our buying team managed to acquire at an unprecedented price. Tasting notes from the bottler, “On the nose, it offers notes of dusty cherry and charred citrus with a palate of over ripe stone fruit, fresh raisin, soft heat, and finishes dry yet flavors continue to develop.”
