The Hirsch 20 is nothing like the AH Hirsch 16. They are two completely different products. AH Hirsch 16 was last distilled in 1974 at the old Michters Distillery in PA. Todays Hirsch and todays Michters are in no way related to the old stuff. I know it's confusing but think of it as the old Pan Am related to the attempted revivals over the years. There's an excellent
book by CHuck Cowdery which does a solid job exploring the history of this amazing product...
