A.H. Hirsch
Kentucky
750 ML (Standard)
A little more complex than the nose led me to believe. It?s very peppery and dances on the palate a bit, with slight black peppery carbonation.It doesn?t taste as high-proof as its 125 proof label would have you believe, but it will warm you on a blustery winter day, that?s for sure. This sort of straddles savory and sweet. It has some complexity like a wine that opens up throughout the course of your dinner. It?s also sweeter and less peppery on the palate as time goes on: It becomes more caramel apple, or baked cobbler.
Slight chlorine. Not bleachy, though. More like how your skin smells after drying in the sun after swimming in a very clean pool. Also dried bananas, and pretzel salt at the bottom of a box of thick hard sourdough pretzels.
Hirsch has introduced a very limited time offering. Barrel proof. Aged at least 6 years. The mashbill: 72% corn, 13% rye, 15% malted barley. Each bott le features a grid on the back label with exact batch specifications matured in American and Spanish oak.
