Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey

Description

About Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey

From the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley comes Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey — a standout in the craft rye category. This whiskey is made from 100% estate‑grown rye grain, distilled on site, and follows a unique double cask maturation: first in new American oak barrels (char #3), followed by another maturation phase in new American oak barrels with a heavier char (char #4).

With a proof of 45% ABV (90 proof), this straight rye delivers both character and refinement. The result is a deeply flavorful rye whiskey, rich with caramel, vanilla, spice and layered complexity.

 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm aromas of vanilla and caramel with hints of prune, apricot and rye spice.

• Palate: Begins with a sweet caramel note, then transitions into mint, clove and cinnamon spice.

• Finish: Long and warm with butterscotch and lingering rye spice.

 Why You’ll Love It

• Estate‑Grown Grain: Every step — from grain to glass — happens at Hillrock’s own Hudson Valley estate.

• 100% Rye Mash Bill: Crafted exclusively from rye, for authentic bold rye character.

• Double Cask Maturation: The two‑stage barrel aging (char #3 then char #4 new oak) deepens flavour and texture.
