Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey

46.3% ABV | Finished in 20-Year Oloroso Sherry Casks | Solera Aged | Award-Winning Bourbon

Process & Profile

Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon is the first American whiskey to use the centuries-old Solera aging process, a method traditionally reserved for Sherry, Madeira, and Cognac. This innovative approach involves layering whiskey in a pyramid of barrels, where a portion is periodically drawn from the bottom and replenished from the top. Over time, older whiskey continuously mingles with younger spirits, creating unmatched depth, smoothness, and complexity.

To finish, this solera-aged bourbon is matured in rare 20-year-old Oloroso Sherry casks, which infuse the whiskey with rich fruit and nut notes. Bottled at 46.3% ABV, Hillrock delivers a refined, full-bodied flavor that stands apart from conventional bourbon aging.
