History,
Our mission is to produce the finest hand-crafted spirits made with our own grain, floor malted, craft distilled in our copper pot still, aged in fine oak and hand bottled at our estate in the Hudson Valley Highlands. Crowned by a fine 1806 Georgian house built by a successful grain merchant and Revolutionary War Captain and meticulously restored to its original beauty, Hillrock Distillery overlooks our rolling barley fields and the distant Berkshire Mountains. Like our premier spirits, every detail refined, no expense spared, quality steeped in the tradition of 200 years of rich history.
Hillrock is proud to be one of the few “field-to-glass” whiskey producers in the world and the first USA distillery since before Prohibition to floor malt and hand craft whiskey on site from estate grown grain. Hillrock’s commitment to quality embodies the rich history of artisanal distilling in the Hudson Valley. By controlling every aspect of production from planting & harvesting heirloom grains, to smoking our malt, to crafting whiskies in our copper pot still, to aging in small oak barrels and hand bottling, we are able to create the highest quality whiskies reflecting the unique local terroir.
After aging in American Oak and Oloroso casks in the Solera, this unique American whiskey is then finished in fine Rum casks
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Starts off with inviting tropical coconut and vanilla bean. Next there is a rich scent of warm brown sugar and cinnamon that flirt with the high rye bourbon and sherry finished Solera base.
Palate: The spirit is packed with light brown sugar, as well as flavors of cream filled sugar wafers and taffy. Next, floral notes of honeysuckle and wildflowers mix with the brown sugar and creamy vanilla as they fade and dissipate.
Finish: The power and finesse of this spirit are found in the combination of toasted coconut, clove, and brown sugar. The flavors play off one another as the savory rum flavors linger.
