WHISKEY AMERICAN

CYRUS NOBLE USA, KENTUCKY BORN IN KENTUCKY, RAISED IN SAN FRANCISCO In 1871 Cyrus Noble Bourbon became a favorite amongst San Franciscans and those with gold rush fever, thirsty for Kentucky-made whiskey. The Haas Brothers, who have owned the label since 1922, are now bringing it back by sourcing some fine casks from Kentucky and bottling it under their old trademark. Cyrus Noble Bourbon 90PF / 750ML

HILLROCK ESTATE USA, NEW YORK PRIVATE BARRELS AVAILABLE

Hillrock is proud to be one of the few “field-to-glass” whiskey producers in the world and the first USA distillery since before Prohibition to floor malt and hand craft whiskey on site from estate grown grain. Hillrock Double Cask Rye 996521 / 750ML / $84.61 Handcrafted from small batches of organically grown rye from the Hillrock Estate. The rye whiskey is matured in traditional oak casks before being double-barreled, or finished, in secondary casks. The secondary casks are composed of American oak and have been charred with a 4 char. In addition, the staves of the secondary casks were air-seasoned for over two years prior to the casks’ assembly. As a result, the secondary casks contribute strong notes of vanilla and caramelized wood sugars to the rye, while minimizing bitter tannins that are often present in kiln dried oak. 90PF Hillrock Single Malt Whiskey 961745 / 750ML / $88.45 One of the first New York single malt whiskies produced since Prohibition, this spirit is made with estate-grown and estate-malted barley, distilled in a copper pot and aged for around 2 years. 96.4PF Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon 113369 / 750ML / $80.76 ‘Solera’ - a stack of barrels where a small portion of whiskey is removed periodically, and new whiskey is added. No barrel is ever fully emptied, and age and complexity gradually increase over time. Hillrock marries small barrel aged Hillrock Estate Bourbon with mature seed bourbon before finishing in 20-year-old Oloroso Sherry casks to balance the flavors and add layers of complexity… Current average age of the Hillrock Solera Bourbon is over 7 years and the rye content is approximately 37%. 92.6PF

Straight bourbon produced in Kentucky and aged five years in new American white oak barrel casks. Rich and velvety with notes of caramel, toasted hazelnut, and buttery toffee. Craft distilled in small batches from a family mashbill recipe—with each bottling re ecting the spirit and character of a hand-made, intimate, and unrushed production method.
