Hillrock Solera Aged Barrel Finished In A Barbados Rum Cask 750ml

Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Finished in Barbados Rum Casks is a masterful expression of innovation and tradition from Hillrock Estate Distillery, one of the pioneers of the American farm-to-glass whiskey movement. Using the world’s only Solera aging process for bourbon, Hillrock layers mature whiskey through a system of barrels, including seasoned Oloroso sherry and aged rum casks from Barbados, to achieve an extraordinary depth of flavor and smoothness.

The finishing in ex-Barbados rum barrels imparts a subtle tropical sweetness, merging beautifully with the bourbon’s natural notes of caramel and spice. The result is a whiskey of remarkable elegance, complexity, and warmth—an artisanal spirit that stands among the most sophisticated in American craft distilling.
