Hillrock Single Malt Whiskey (750ml)

Description

One of the few “field-to-glass” whiskey producers in the world, Hillrock Estate Distillery is based in the Hudson Valley region of New York. It is said to be the first U.S. distillery since before Prohibition to traditionally floor-malt whiskey on site from natural-grown estate grain. In keeping with the above philosophy of estate, the grounds feature an 1806 Georgian house overlooking the distillery and 100 acres of farmland growing corn, as well as heirloom varieties of rye and barley.
