  • Sometimes, a bourbon just needs to be solid and accessible. Hirsch The Horizon seems to have that goal in its crosshairs.x

  • It’s not bad by any stretch, but it is decidedly odd.

  • I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s more down-the-middle than an outright wow.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Pound cake, cinnamon, candied ginger, maple and a touch of brown sugar. Sweet, a touch spicy, light on the baking spice and a bit of sweet oak.

  • Taste:

    Light to moderate palate with no ethanol, but lighter than the nose would suggest in general. Sweet brown sugar, a touch of tropical fruit, honey, cinnamon and sweet oak.

  • Finish:

    Long, spicy and maple-forward. Touch of spiced apples and stewed pears, brown sugar and some pepper.

  • Overall:

    Totally pleasant but far from powerful or impressive. This release is well-blended and easy to drink, but ultimately light and fruit-forward with touches of sweetness and spice here or there.
