Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey is a meticulously crafted and refined spirit that showcases the artistry of American whiskey-making. This exceptional rye whiskey undergoes a unique aging process, maturing in two distinct casks to achieve a depth of flavor and complexity that sets it apart.

Upon pouring, the liquid presents itself with a rich amber hue, inviting the senses to explore the layers of character within. The nose is greeted by a symphony of enticing aromas, including robust notes of caramel, vanilla, and honey, complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak.

The palate of Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey unfolds with a velvety and well-balanced profile. Rye grain imparts a spicy kick, dancing harmoniously with the sweetness of toffee, caramel, and a touch of dried fruit. The double cask aging process contributes to the complexity, as the whiskey absorbs the nuanced flavors from both the primary American oak and the secondary sherry cask, creating a tapestry of taste that evolves with each sip.

The mouthfeel is luxurious and full-bodied, showcasing a sophisticated interplay of flavors and textures. Fine oak tannins impart a gentle warmth, while the whiskey maintains a smooth and lingering finish. The marriage of traditional craftsmanship and innovative aging techniques results in a whiskey that appeals to both seasoned connoisseurs and those discovering the joys of premium rye.

Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey stands as a testament to the dedication of its distillers, offering a sensory journey that captures the essence of American rye whiskey with an elevated and distinctive twist.

Distillery Information

Hillrock Estate Distillery is located in the Hudson Valley Highlands and is one of the few "field-to-glass" whiskey producers in the world. The distillery is owned by Jeffrey Baker and led by Master Distiller David Pickerell.
Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey is a unique American whiskey that is handcrafted in small batches. The whiskey is made from 100% estate rye that is naturally grown, small batch pot distilled, aged, and bottled on the distillery's estate. The whiskey is aged in two sets of barrels.
Hillrock also offers the "Founder's 1806 Cask", which is a unique Estate Rye Whiskey that is aged for five years. It is first aged in new American oak barrels and then finished in European wine casks. The whiskey marries three old world European finishes: Madeira, Tawny Port, and Sauternes.
