Continuing The Commitment To Create The Highest Quality Artisanal Whiskeys, Hillrock’s Estate-Grown And Crafted, 100% Rye Whiskey Reflects The Unique Terroir Of The Hudson Valley And Incorporates Rare Premier Cru Sauternes Wine Casks Into The Aging Process.

Sauternes Wine, Known As The “Nectar Of The Gods”, Is Characterized By The Balance Of Sweetness And Acidity, With A Nutty Flavor And Notes Of Apricots, Honey And Peaches.
