A.H. Hirsch 16 Year Old
Aug 22nd, 2006 |
Last night we ate at the Sushi Thai Garden. Afterward, we went to 9 Maple Ave for some after dinner drinks. Here, I tried the A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Old. It was America’s first 5 star bourbon. It is was made using a Pot Still, which is unique among American whiskey distilleries.
From the Beverage Testing Institute: “Brilliant burnished amber hue. Lush toffee, dried fruit, a rich entry leads to a dense medium-to-full-bodied palate with burnt caramel, mellow brown spices, and deeply toasted American oak flavors. Finishes with a balanced wave of spicy pepper. Wonderfully poised with a distinctly even, round quality.”
Rated 94 by the Beverage Testing Institute.
