Description and specs

The Bivouac, pronounced be?voo?ak, refers to a temporary camp without a tent or cover. It alludes to a way of travel only meant for those who want to truly immerse themselves in nature. HIRSCH The Bivouac honors those adventurous spirits who are brave enough to take the road less traveled.

The Bivouac combines two straight bourbons distilled in Bardstown, Kentucky – the world capital of Bourbon. Our custom mashbill is inspired by A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16-year-old legendary whiskey, providing balance to our make. 95% of the blend is distilled from mashbill of 74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley, aged a minimum of 3 years. The remaining 5% is distilled from a high malted barley mash 72% corn, 13% rye, 15% malted barley, aged for a least 6 years, for added complexity. Bottled at 100 proof with approximately 160 barrels bottled with every batch. Enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail.

“The nose is somewhat tight at first but opens to aromas of coffee cake, fruit cup, and faint notes of cherry, citrus, and dried herbs. The palate is smooth and silky, with light spice, cooked plums, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. Earthier notes of mature oak and dunnage floor keep the sweetness in check nicely. On the finish, pleasant oak, honey, and chocolate. Solidly built and well-integrated; a very nice sipper.” – David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (93 Points)
