Hillrock Estate Distillery Double Cask Rye Whiskey 750ml

The Double Cask Rye's deep golden amber color is highlighted by warm and inviting aromas of vanilla and caramel, with hints of prune, apricot and rye spice which round out the nose. Initial caramel sweetness on the palate is followed by mint, clove, and cinnamon spices before fading to a caramel, butterscotch conclusion with a long, warm and sweet finish.

In the early 1800s, New York produced more than half the young nation’s Barley and Rye, and the Hudson Valley was the country’s breadbasket. With abundant high quality grain, local craft spirits flourished and over 1000 farm distilleries produced Whiskey and Gin reflecting the unique terroir of the region. In the 1930s, Prohibition forced these distilleries to shut their doors and this wellspring of American spirits was left dry.

Hillrock Estate Distillery is changing this. Its mission is to produce the finest hand-crafted spirits made with estate grain, floor malted, craft distilled in copper pot still, aged in fine oak and hand bottled at the estate in the Hudson Valley Highlands.
