What sets Hillrock apart is their commitment to sustainability and transparency. They grow their own organic barley on their estate, utilizing traditional floor malting techniques rarely seen outside of Scotland. This meticulous process imbues their whiskey with a unique terroir, capturing the essence of their land in each bottle.
The aging process at Hillrock is equally exceptional. Their whiskey matures in small barrels crafted onsite, benefiting from the Hudson Valley's distinct climate, which accelerates aging and enhances flavor complexity. This attention to detail results in a whiskey that balances rich, malty notes with hints of vanilla, oak, and a subtle sweetness, culminating in a smooth, memorable finish.
