Hillrock - Single Malt Whiskey
Hillrock Single Malt is handcrafted in small batches from naturally grown Hillrock estate barley, which has been traditionally floor malted on-site in the first new malthouse built at a USA distillery since Prohibition.
Our estate grain is then milled, fermented, small-batch pot distilled, aged and bottled all at our Hudson Valley Estate. The award winning Field-to-Glass® artisanal whiskey exhibits the Estate's signature terroir of cinnamon and clove, layered with caramel and vanilla. Expressions smoked with imported Speyside Scotland peat exhibit a complex, lingering smokiness with notes of tobacco, leather and campfire.
The aromas of smoked caramel, dried orange peel, and sweet roasted nuts come on first. Second waves of ripe cherries and plums accent the marshmallow and honey base of this whiskey, trailing off to reveal lemon zest and earthy tones of smoke.
As the whiskey enters the mouth a creamy coating ensues. The different woods used to mature this whiskey have each left their mark. Caramelized sugar, Blackberries, blueberries, plums and cherries are all recognizable. There are soft tannins and beautiful spice notes that balance the full body of this medium smoked single malt.
Imagine eating a warm caramel cake, with a lemon zest buttercream frosting by a campfire. The finish continues, bouncing between sweet desserts and delicate earthy primal smoke.
