Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey Pinot Noir Finish is a unique expression from Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York’s Hudson Valley. Using the rare solera aging method, this bourbon is first matured in American oak before moving through a series of casks to develop layers of complexity. The final stage involves finishing in barrels that previously held premium Pinot Noir, adding depth and a distinctive fruit-forward elegance. All grains are estate-grown, and the whiskey is distilled, aged, and bottled entirely on-site.
