September Bourbon of the Month – Hillrock Solera

In September, our Bourbon of the Month Club Members received a bottle of Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon. Besides producing some really tasty stuff, their distillery has racked up a lot of “cool points” from the Taster’s Club Team.

Part of what makes them great is that they pay attention to bourbon tradition, but also bring a fresh perspective to the process, such as their unique farm-to-table (…or “field-to-glass”) approach.

For starters, Hillrock Distillery is located in the Hudson Valley of New York, an unlikely place to find a quality bourbon. Everything they make starts from their own grain, grown on the premises. It’s also malted on-site using their own floor maltings (see below), and then craft distilled in their own copper pot still, aged in fine oak and hand bottled at the estate.
