Tasting Notes
"The Hirsch selections, whether they hail from the US or Canada, all tend to have a proprietary leatheriness to them from the oak aging. People either love this or hate this. It's interesting that despite all its years in barrel, the whiskey is so light in color - like an oak aged white wine. It's more on the herbal and floral spectrum, finishing with a lot of heat and spice. Gotta say, it's got a lot of Airwick going on. It does finally get a little creamier and mellow with water. If you want to drink a Canadian pine forest, this is your whiskey."
