Hirsch The Single Barrel Kentucky Bourbon ( Barrel # KY-056) 6 year 750 ml

Barrel No. KY-056 yielded this bottling of Hirsch The Single Barrel, a six-year Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at barrel strength without chill filtration. The mash bill runs 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% malted barley, aged in new charred American oak in Bardstown. Hirsch drew the release from a run of just 57 barrels, each bottled on its own, so proof and character shift from barrel to barrel. The reported profile leans dark — cherry and roasted caramel up front, herbs and soft pepper through the middle, a long, dry finish with lingering chocolate. At full strength this bourbon takes water well; start it neat, then add a few drops to open it up.
