Hirsch The Bivouac Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from HIRSCH Selected Whiskeys, crafted by blending mature Kentucky bourbons to create a rich yet approachable expression. The name “Bivouac,” referring to a temporary camp or place of rest during a journey, reflects the adventurous spirit behind the HIRSCH brand. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), The Bivouac delivers a fuller and more robust profile than The Horizon, balancing classic bourbon sweetness with mature oak, fruit, and warming spice.

The whiskey opens with inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, toasted nuts, and seasoned oak. The palate develops layers of brown sugar, butterscotch, cherry, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and toasted wood, complemented by a touch of peppery spice. Its 100-proof strength provides richness and structure before transitioning into a long, warming finish of caramel, baking spice, dark fruit, and lingering oak.
