“Solera-aged estate bourbon finished through Oloroso sherry casks — Hudson Valley field-to-glass”
Tasting notes
- nose
- oaked caramel-vanilla, floral fruit, slight cinnamon, peach
- palate
- maple, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, roasted corn, raisin, clove-cinnamon spice — then Oloroso walnut, fig, and candied fruit balancing rye undertones
- finish
- medium-long caramel-butterscotch warmth
Mash bill
- Corn63%
- Rye37%
Reported ~63% corn / 37% rye high-rye estate mash — Hudson Valley grain grown for the farm distillery program, with Hillrock field-to-glass thesis (estate grain, on-site floor malting) as the grain story. Exact current percentages are not always printed on every batch label; treat the high-rye corn-rye split as the published house figure from reviews and trade sheets.
- Cask
- Solera system: new charred American oak top tier to ex-bourbon mid to Oloroso sherry finishing tier
- Finish
- Fractional solera; final draw rested in Oloroso sherry casks (~36 days reported historically)
- Best served
- neat
