Hirsch Selection American Whiskey Aged 20 Years 750ml No Ratings $60.79 USD Straight corn whiskey is historically the first, true American whiskey, and today Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey (KSCW) represents a tiny, but very important, lassification of American whiskey. With a stark commercial landscape of authentic KSCW, we encourage you to venture into this pristine territory shepherded by an experienced guide, Hirsch Selection. KSCW is the predecessor to bourbon whiskey, which has at least 51% corn in the mash bill. Only when the corn content is at least 80% can a whiskey be designated as corn whiskey. Authentic whiskey selection is a recognizable strength of Preiss Imports. The Hirsch Selection hand picked series of single barrel whiskies is chosen expressly for connoisseurs of small batch fine spirits. In this tradition, we invite you to savor this classic example of KSCW, which has been specially aged and mellowed in oak barrels, another true original Hirsch Selection.
