Haven't heard of Hirsch before...http://www.thepartysource.com/express/item.php?id=9041
Wonder if it's any good
This looks promising as well: http://www.thepartysource.com/express/item.php?id=12327

Anyone ever try this one?
ROWAN'S CREEK Single Barrel
One of the drier Bourbons you’ll encounter. Rowan’s offers much dry, dusty wood on the nose, acceptably enough but perhaps lacking in complexity. The mouth, though, offers a very dry entry with more wood and spice followed by a mid-palate bomb of hard, remorseless rye; like spiced hard candy, barely sweet at all. This leads to a tingly, numbing, rye-licorice finish. Quite a character, this Rowan.—JE
