Hillrock Estate 5 year old Sherry Cask Finished (High Meadow No. 4), 48.2%

Price: 110 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt American Whiskey


Caramel corn, caramel apple, apple crisp, Honey Nut Cheerios, cinnamon babka, and brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tart fill the nose. Rich and velvety, the palate is redolent with hot chocolate, toasted almonds, slightly burnt toast, and ripe raspberries. There's quite a bit of heat, too; Red Hots and red chiles create a mouth-watering experience. More of that heat and a playful rush of orange zest take center stage on the finish.
