{"product_id":"hillrock-solera-aged-bourbon-whiskey-750ml","title":"Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eHillrock Solera Aged Bourbon is the first American whiskey to be aged by the centuries-old Solera method traditionally used for exceptional sherries, ports, Madeiras and cognacs. Finished in 20-year-old Oloroso sherry casks, the award-winning bourbon is bottled at 92.6 proof (46.3% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolera aging uses a pyramid of barrels: a small portion of whiskey is removed periodically from the lowest tier, and an equal measure of younger whiskey is added to the top barrels, so older whiskey constantly mingles with younger spirit and no barrel is ever fully emptied. Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York's Hudson Valley is a field-to-glass producer, with estate-grown grain and an on-site malt house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Oloroso casks give the bourbon floral notes layered with fig, roasted walnuts, candied fruit and spicy rye, with unusual depth, smoothness and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts heavy square decanter makes it a handsome gift for bourbon lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or over a single large ice cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral notes and fig.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted walnuts, candied fruit and spicy rye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solera aged, finished in 20-year-old Oloroso casks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hillrock Estate Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon Whiskey, Solera Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92.6 proof (46.3% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solera system, finished in 20-year-old Oloroso sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ancram, Hudson Valley, New York, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or over a large ice cube.
