PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Hillrock Solera-Aged Bourbon – 1er Cru Sauternes Cask Finish is a refined intersection of American bourbon and French elegance. The 1er Cru Sauternes finish elevates Hillrock’s Solera-aged bourbon into velvety territory—where opulent Miel de Vie sweetness meets layered spice and floral nuance.
Hillrock employs a traditional Solera aging method—an intricate pyramid of barrels where small portions are drawn and refreshed over time. Following maturation in sherry and solera barrels, this whiskey is finished in rare Premier Cru Sauternes wine casks, marrying Hudson Valley terroir with centuries-old European vinous legacy.
Aroma: Honey-amber warmth, rich with caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and a whisper of orange blossom and Meyer lemon zest.
Palate: Creamy and layered—notes of honey-coated roasted nuts and cinnamon mingle with warm toffee, caramel, and vanilla. These are balanced by lively honeydew melon, citrus, and apricot brightness.
Finish: Long, clean, and floral-rich—vanilla, oak, and honey coat the palate with a graceful, warm glow.
One bourbon lover on Reddit called it “an excellent and unique bourbon... mission accomplished in blending bourbon and wine.” They praised the stone-fruit sweetness and creaminess that complement rather than overpower.
