Listen "Hirsch Whiskey: Kevin Aslan"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the Bourbon Showdown Podcast, I’m joined by Kevin Aslan, head distiller and head blender for Hirsch Whiskey, and we go full whiskey-geek. We dig into how Hirsch got its start, Kevin’s journey into the brand, and the mythology behind the name (no spoilers—you’ve gotta listen). This is one of those brands that lived before the craft boom and thrived after it, and Kevin brings that perspective straight to this whiskey conversation. We taste through what Hirsch has on the shelf right now—including their new Cognac-finished release, which I’ll spoil just a little by saying it’s damn tasty. Buckle up—it’s Hirsch Whiskey day on the Bourbon Showdown Podcast.
