Before it closed in 1988, Michter's in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, was the oldest licensed distillery in America. Pretty soon the last remaining inventory of the oldest pot-stilled bourbon around—its rare 16-year sour mash—will be history as well. Labeled A.H. Hirsch Reserve, a few single bottles of the stuff, easily the best we've ever had the pleasure of quaffing, are left on top shelves, but that's it. The very last of the stock will be sold this September in a final edition of 1,000. They're not cheap, of course: They're expected to go for between $1,000 and $1,500 each. But each handblown bottle will come in a numbered mahogany humidor with two glasses and a booklet on Michter's history. We know what you're thinking, and yes, that's one expensive booklet.
