Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey Sauternes Cask FinishStraight Bourbon Whiskey | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey Sauternes Finish begins with Hillrock’s signature solera-aged bourbon, a rare process that marries older and younger whiskey for unmatched depth. After initial maturation in American oak and other cask types within the solera system, the bourbon is transferred to French oak casks that once held Sauternes, a luxurious French dessert wine. This finishing step imparts layers of honeyed fruit, delicate florals, and sweet spice to the whiskey’s bold, rich foundation. Every drop is distilled, aged, and bottled on Hillrock Estate in New York’s Hudson Valley from grains grown on-site.
