Hillrock Sauternes Bourbon is from Hillrock Estate Distillery in the Hudson Valley, New York — a true field-to-glass craft producer’s Solera-aged bourbon finished in Sauternes wine casks for an additional layer of honeyed, dried-fruit, and dessert-wine character on top of the underlying bourbon profile.
Hillrock Estate Distillery is one of the few American whiskey producers using estate-grown grain, an on-site malt house, and traditional Solera aging. The Sauternes finish brings the influence of French noble-rot Bordeaux dessert wine into the bourbon — a finishing program more familiar in Scotch single malt than American whiskey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sauternes cask finish?
Sauternes is a French noble-rot dessert wine from Bordeaux. Finishing the bourbon in casks that previously held it contributes honeyed, dried-fruit, and dessert-wine notes layered over the base bourbon.
What is Solera aging?
A fractional-aging system, more familiar in Spanish sherry and Madeira than American bourbon, where older and younger whiskey are continuously blended rather than aged as separate batches — producing a consistent, layered character.
Where is Hillrock made?
At Hillrock Estate Distillery in Ancram, in New York's Hudson Valley — a field-to-glass operation growing grain on its own estate and malting on-site.
