Hillrock Double Cask Tawny Port Finished Rye is a 115-proof rye whiskey from Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York's Hudson Valley — a field-to-glass producer, here finishing its double-cask rye in tawny port casks for nutty, dried-fruit, oxidative sweetness over the spicy rye base, bottled at cask strength.
Hillrock Estate Distillery in Ancram grows grain on its own estate and malts on-site. This high-proof expression finishes the Double Cask Rye in tawny port casks — tawny port being barrel-aged for an oxidative, nutty character distinct from ruby port — layering caramelized dried-fruit and walnut notes onto the rye at 115 proof.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the tawny port finish add?
Tawny port is barrel-aged for an oxidative, nutty character. Casks that held it contribute caramelized dried-fruit, walnut, and fig notes layered over the base rye.
How is tawny port different from ruby port?
Tawny port is aged longer in wood, taking on nutty, oxidative, dried-fruit character, where ruby port stays fresher and fruitier. The cask passes that tawny character to the rye.
