This bottling of a 20-year-old American whisky was produced as a Special Reserve in the Hirsch Selection range. The whisky was distilled in 1987, matured in used oak casks and was produced specifically for Preiss Imports, Ramona, CA.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
