Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Rum Cask Finish (75cl, 58%)

Hillrock Solera Aged Rum Cask Finish is a bourbon from Hillrock Estate Distillery in Ancram, in New York's Hudson Valley. It is bottled at cask strength, 57.95% ABV, in a 750ml bottle. The bourbon is aged by the Solera method, a fractional system uncommon in American whiskey, and then finished in rum casks. The distillery grows its grain on its own estate and malts on site. The nose is brown sugar, molasses and ripe tropical fruit over oak. On the palate there is rum-driven sweetness, baked banana and bourbon spice, and the finish is long and warming, with molasses and oak.
