Hirsch Selected Whiskeys, announces the release of its latest expression, The Single Barrel Double Oak. Distilled in Bardstown, Kentucky, The Single Barrel Double Oak is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that has been double barreled in New American Oak and finished in used American Oak barrels.

The Single Barrel Double Oak pays homage to Hirsch’s famed A.H. Hirsch 16-Year-Old Gold Foil, while upholding the A.H. Hirsch legacy. The story of American whiskey is not complete without mention of A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16-Year-Old, distilled in 1974 and widely considered the best American bourbon ever produced – even inspiring revered whiskey expert Chuck Cowdery to write the book, The Best Bourbon You’ll Never Taste.

A.H. Hirsch was an investment banker and philanthropist who invested in the Schaefferstown Distillery, a historic landmark for American whiskey in operation for more than two centuries.

This expression began with an eight-year Kentucky bourbon to bring forward softer notes from the wood. The second barrel was designed to add a light, caramelized layer to the finished bourbon without too much intensity.

The Single Barrel Double Oak offers three styles of single barrels, each comprised of two mash bills blended at different ratios:

• 72% Corn, 13% Rye, 15% Malted Barley aged for eight years and seven months.
• 74% Corn, 18% Rye, 8% Malted Barley aged for three years and seven months.

The Single Barrel Double Oak retails for a suggested price of $99 and is currently available on ReserveBar.com as well as on shelves at retailers in CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NY, TN, and TX.
