Hirsch 20 Year AW is it worth $100 a bottle?

So why do people say that the 16 year is 5 Stars and then no mention of how many Stars the 20 should bring?

It may be worth $100 a bottle. I'd probably be willing to pay that because I don't have one in my collection yet.
The 5 stars rating was just some marketing BS.
Don't pay any attention to that. It's just a rating by one reviewer.

Hmmm... I sense some confusion here... Hirsch 20 year AW (American Whiskey) is fairly common and IMO not all that good. It usually retails for around $69, and it's debatable if it's worth it-- I think not. On the other hand, "A. H. Hirsch" 20 year bourbon (bourbon, not American Whiskey) is highly coveted and obsolete-- fetching prices upwards of $500 on recent eBay auctions. If you see one of these on a shelf for $100 it's a steal-- but that's highly unlikely as it's long discontinued.

The 5-star rating was given to it's younger brother, "A. H. Hirsch" 16 year bourbon. Call it marketing nonsense if you will, but I love this stuff and would have awarded it 6 stars on a 5 star scale. Some argue the 20 year A. H. Hirsch is inferior to the 16, but I'm sure they're both excellent.

Hope that helps!

PS: If anyone has a stash any of the A. H. Hirsch bourbons and would like to discuss a sale or trade, shoot me an email: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

I'd also be willing to buy one if anyone had a bottle or two around.
Actually, I like any old weird and different bourbon.
