description: A. H. Hirsch Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a legendary spirit whose rise parallels the revival of the American whiskey industry itself after nearly 30 years of flat sales and discouraged marketers. It is also the story of a small distillery in Schaefferstown Pennsylvania whose fame dates back to the 1750s and whose final collapse prefaced its famous product's reign. Seemingly the story of a single product it touches numerous strands of American history and includes a colorful cast of characters from the whiskey-making Beams to the giants of the post-Prohibition distilled spirits business to the mysterious Mr. Hirsch himself. A great product needs a great story and A. H. Hirsch Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey had that in abundance. A one-of-a-kind whiskey it was only around for about 20 years and is now largely out of circulation but even now tasting it may not be quite impossible. Charles Cowdery is one of the most acclaimed writers about whiskey and whiskey-making in the United States. The author of Bourbon Straight; The Uncut And Unfiltered Story Of American Whiskey he is a Kentucky Colonel and a member of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame.
