Hirsch
In 1974, Adolph Hirsch commissioned a single 400-barrel batch of whiskey from the soon-to-be-known-as Michter’s Distillery near
Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania. When the distillery was facing bankruptcy, this bourbon was acquired by a gentleman named Gordon Hue in 1989. Hue then gave over the barrel to Julian van Winkle III to be bottled under the name A.H. Hirsch Reserve. Hue maintained the brand for a period of time - sourcing and releasing various age statements until the brand ended up in the hands of Anchor Brewers and Distillers (who no longer sell it under the brand A.H. Hirsch - now simply calling it Hirsch).
