I thought I knew a little about AH Hirsch till I read Chuck's book. It's a good book, written by a guy that knows what he's talking about when it comes to the history of bourbon. If you're the least bit interested in bourbon and/or its history, this book is a must have, as is Chuck's other book, Bourbon Straight. Fun, interesting, and very well written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tresure hunting for great bourbon *by C*** on September 6, 2012* This book describes the complicated history of a bourbon product that ended up being bottled under the label of A.H. Hirsch Reserve. As the title reads, it was distilled back in 1974. Very few bottles exist today of what is described as a great bourbon.The demand for bourbon fell during the 70s and 80s. At that time many of the small distilleries were producing mashes under numerous labels for different customers. Since making whiskey requires a large investment up front and the product cannot be sold for several years many of the distilleries were owned by banks.The distillery for this particular product was located in Pennsylvania and is no longer in existence. When the distillery went bankrupt many barrels of whiskey were aging in barrels. An investor/broker purchased the stock during an auction, stored the bourbon in steel containers for many years before having it bottled when the demand for bourbon increased, under the A.H. Hirsch label that was owned by the broker.The bourbon had a great taste and quickly became high in demand that came with a price. Some folks have run across this product in small town stores and bought up the entire stock.Bourbon lovers will enjoy the history. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love whiskey history *by J***R on May 23, 2014* I have picked up many whiskey books that were long on words but not very rich in substance. This little book is quite the opposite. It is a very dense history on one small down and out distillery that happened to make great whiskey. Woven in and out of the story is loads of overlapping history of more well known names, places, and disllieries.This is a great read that will stick with you long after you have put it down. It gives the whiskey enthusiast much to discuss with like minded people. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Best Bourbon You'll Never Taste - Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last - Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8548143-the-best-bourbon-youll-never-taste-paperback-august-31-2012](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8548143-the-best-bourbon-youll-never-taste-paperback-august-31-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
