Hirsch The Single Barrel Whiskey 750ml

Hirsch The Single Barrel is a single-barrel American whiskey release under the Hirsch name, a brand built on the legacy of the original A.H. Hirsch Reserve bourbon and now used for a range of sourced, single-barrel bottlings. As a single-barrel release, character varies somewhat batch to batch depending on the individual cask selected, but the line is generally built around straightforward barrel-driven oak, caramel, and grain flavor rather than heavy experimentation. It's aimed at whiskey drinkers who like the single-barrel format for its batch variation and want to try a lesser-known name with a well-regarded pedigree behind it.

How to drink Hirsch The Single Barrel

Start neat to get a read on this particular barrel's character before deciding whether it wants water or ice — single-barrel releases vary enough that a blanket recommendation undersells them. A splash of water is a safe way to open it up if the proof runs hot.
