About this bottle
Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York's Hudson Valley finishes this rye in barrels that previously held Sauternes, the famous sweet botrytized wine from Bordeaux — a genuinely unusual finishing choice that layers honeyed apricot and noble-rot complexity onto the rye's normal pepper spice. Hillrock leans hard into old-world technique across its whole lineup, including floor-malting some of its own grain, so this kind of ambitious cask-finishing fits the brand's overall approach. Expect a whiskey that reads more complex and dessert-adjacent than a standard rye, with real tension between rye spice and the wine's sweetness rather than one simply covering the other.
How to drink Hillrock Double Cask Sauternes Rye
Sip it neat after dinner, treating it almost like a dessert whiskey given the Sauternes influence. A single ice cube is fine if the sweetness feels intense at full strength.
