Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey
90 proof NAS Rye Hillrock Hudson Valley, NY $80 100% rye

Sweet and peppermint with spicy notes. Dark fruit aromas reminiscent of port wine, with notes of dark cherries, plums, and stone fruit. Rich leather undertones from oak.

Great amount of sweetness up front with caramel and anise notes. Conifer and pepper as it develops across the tongue. Sweet spice character similar to candy ginger. Medium body with balanced oak integration.

Oak-forward with a touch of tannic bitterness that's well-balanced by the sweetness. Medium to long finish with lingering cherry notes. Cherry tobacco character reminiscent of Swisher Sweets. The oak plays a big part but doesn't overwhelm.

Excellent
A beautifully crafted, well-balanced double cask rye whiskey that's sweet and approachable yet complex, with excellent integration of oak and fruit that appeals to diverse palates.
