ABOUT HILLROCK ESTATE DISTILLERY
Award Winning Field to Glass Whiskey
Hillrock Estate Distillery is one of the only "Field to Glass" whiskey distilleries in the world and the first ever U.S. distillery since Prohibition to traditionally floor malt and handcraft whiskeys on site from estate-grown grain.
Hillrock farm spans over 800 acres and grows all of their own grain sustainably, handcrafting each bottle using small batch copper pot distill and all on the Estate in Hudson Valley, New York.
200 YEARS IN THE MAKING
The History of Hudson Valley
In the early 1800’s, New York produced more than half the young nation’s Barley and Rye and the Hudson Valley was the country’s breadbasket. With abundant high quality grain, local craft spirits flourished and over 1,000 farm distilleries produced Whiskey and Gin reflecting the unique terroir of the region. In the 1930’s, Prohibition forced these distilleries to shut their doors and this wellspring of American spirits was left dry.
Hillrock Estate was created to produce the finest hand-crafted spirits made with estate-owned grain, floor malted, craft distilled in our copper pot still, aged in fine oak and hand bottled in the Hudson Valley Highlands. Crowned by a fine 1806 Georgian house built by a successful grain merchant and Revolutionary War Captain and meticulously restored to its original beauty, Hillrock Distillery overlooks the historic rolling barley fields and the distant Berkshire Mountains. Every detail is meticulously steeped in the tradition of 200 years of rich history.
