HIllrock Double Cask Rye Sauternes Cask Finished

HIllrock Double Cask Rye Sauternes Cask Finished – HIllrock Double Cask Rye Sauternes Cask Finished is crafted with organically-grown rye from the Hillrock Estate. Created by the legendary Dave Pickerell, this whiskey is finished in French Sauternes wine casks, imparting the liquid with dried fruit and citrus notes. After aging in two separate new charred American white oak barrels, this unique triple cask matured whiskey is then finished in rare French Premier Cru Sauternes wine casks which add a rounded balance and almost buttery texture along with citrus lemon and apricot notes. Sauternes wine, known as the “nectar of the gods”, was prized by both Thomas Jefferson and George Washington in the 18th century.
