Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey
90 proof NAS Rye Hillrock Farm Ancram, NY $80 100% rye

Sweet and pepperminty with spicy notes; dark fruit characteristics reminiscent of port wine with dark cherries and plums; stone fruit notes; rich leather and oak undertones.

Great amount of sweetness up front with caramel and anise; conifer and pepper as it develops across the tongue; candy ginger character; balanced between sweetness and oakiness with a pleasant peppery lead into the finish.

Oak plays a big part with a touch of bitterness balanced by the sweetness; medium to long finish with cherry carrying through; cherry tobacco notes; tannins present but not overpowering.

Excellent
A beautifully crafted, well-balanced 100% rye whiskey with impressive depth from double-cask aging that pleases diverse palates and serves well as an introduction to rye, a gift, or an everyday sipper.
