2015 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon (United States), 46.3% abv, $80.00

90
Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Burnished orange color. Really lovely and elegant fragrances of clove, cinnamon, baked pineapple, bacon fat, unsalted butter, cooking oil, wax paper all work in harmony. Taste-wise, the focus is more on the oak resins, cooking oils than the cereal grains and that makes for substantial flavors that are creamy and rich. Finishes semisweet, toasted, sophisticated.
