Black Maple Hill 23 Year Single Barrel Rye Cask No. 9 95 Proof

95 proof. 23 years. Single barrel rye. Cask No. 9. Black Maple Hill — the 23-year rye expression from the Black Maple Hill independent bottling label, presenting aged straight rye whiskey at one of the longest age statements ever commercially available in the Black Maple Hill catalog.

Black Maple Hill was one of the defining independent bottler labels of the early-to-mid 2000s, releasing critically acclaimed sourced American whiskeys before the craft bourbon revival inflated demand and depleted aged stock. The 23-year single barrel rye at 95 proof is an extraordinarily unusual release — almost all Black Maple Hill rye was sourced at much younger ages. At 23 years, this is among the oldest rye whiskeys ever commercially released under any label.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a 23-year Black Maple Hill rye so significant?

Black Maple Hill's reputation was built on 16-23 year bourbon expressions. A 23-year single barrel rye is extraordinary because almost all commercially bottled rye at any point in history has been much younger. Black Maple Hill no longer produces, making this one of the rarest and most age-forward rye whiskeys from the label's catalog.
