Hillrock Double Cask Rye is a unique American whiskey, handcrafted in small batches from rye grain, which has been naturally grown, milled, small batch pot distilled, aged, and bottled by hand on the distillery's Hudson Valley Estate. After aging in new #3 char American oak casks, the award winning Field-to-Glass® whiskey is then aged in #4 char new American oak casks which add layers of caramel and vanilla to complement traditional rye spice. The Double Cask’s deep golden amber color is highlighted by warm and inviting aromas of vanilla and caramel with hints of prune, apricot and rye spice which round out the nose. Initial caramel sweetness on the palate is followed by mint, clove, and cinnamon spices before fading to a caramel, butterscotch conclusion with a long, warm and sweet finish. 45% ABV AWARDS94pts, 2015 - Wine Enthusiast95pts, 2018/2016 - Ultimate Spirits ChallengeDbl Gold, 2020 - SF World Spirits Comp.Dbl Gold, 2018 - SIPDbl Gold, 2015 - NY World Wine & Spirits Comp.Gold, 2018/2017/2015 - LA Wine & Spirits Comp.Gold, 2018/2017/2014 - SF World Spirits Comp.Gold, 2017/2014 - BTI
