BREAKTHRU® Hillrock Estate Distillery Solera Aged Sauternes Cask Finished Bourbon Whiskey 750 ml (New York) – 6045560373407

Notes from the Distillery:

Solera mingles with younger whiskies to create unmatched depth and complexity.

Hillrock grows all the grain used in their whiskeys on their farm and processes the malt in their own malthouse, the first distillery to do both since BEFORE Prohibition.

After aging in Hillrock’s Solera and Oloroso Sherry Casks, this unique whiskey is then finished in rare French Premier Cru Sauternes wine casks. Sauternes wine, known as the “nectar of the gods”, was prized by both Thomas Jefferson and George Washington in the 18th century. This artisanal whiskey merges the unique terroir of the Hudson Valley with old world European tradition and craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes:

This honey amber whiskey displays a complex nose of caramel, vanilla bean, nuts and oak with hints of orange blossom, Meyer lemon zest and honey. Slightly nutty flavors of honey-coated roasted nuts and cinnamon compliment the warm toffee, caramel, and vanilla essences balanced by honeydew melon, citrus and apricot notes opening to a long, clean finish with a lively vanilla, floral oaked finish loaded with honey.
