Hillrock 5 Year Old Double Cask Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Hillrock 5 Year Old Double Cask Bottled-in-Bond is a 100-proof Bottled-in-Bond bourbon from Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York's Hudson Valley — a field-to-glass producer growing its own grain and operating an on-site malt house, here meeting the strict federal Bottled-in-Bond standard: the product of one distillation season, one distiller, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

Hillrock Estate Distillery in Ancram is one of the few American whiskey producers operating at full estate scale, growing grain on its own land and malting in-house. This Double Cask expression is aged a minimum of five years and carries the Bottled-in-Bond designation — a 19th-century mark of authenticity guaranteeing a single distillery, a single season, and bottling at 100 proof with no blending across producers.
