A.H. Hirsch was an investment banker who invested in the "Schaefferstown Distillery" in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania in an effort to keep it operational, though it would ultimately shut down several decades later in 1989. The distillery is a historic landmark for American whiskey that was in operation for more than two centuries, and Hirsch's contribution would ultimately result in what many consider to be the finest expression of bourbon ever made, the legendary A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Old.
