Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Product Description

As the mighty buffalo thundered across the land, they carved paths in the wilderness and a destiny for our ancestors. These paths, known as traces, were soon marked with the footprints of adventurers, explorers and pioneers as they made their journey to the west. One such trace, called the Great Buffalo Trace, led to the rugged banks of what is now called the Kentucky River. It was here in Franklin County, just a short distance from Kentucky’s state capitol of today, that millions of buffalo found passage across the river in their move toward the Great Plains. The McAfee brothers made the first survey of the crossing site and the surrounding area in 1773. A settlement came into existence at the crossing in 1775, when brother Hancock and Willis Lee established their camp with a small company of men. Those who settled there were quick to take advantage of the abundant limestone spring water and fertile bottom loam-found to be perfect for growing exceptional grain. Distillation soon followed and what would become the area’s distinguished bourbon heritage took root.

Deep golden amber in colour. The nose shows corn, honey, apple cider, a sprinkle of rye, mint, and wet oak. What a fantastic nose this is, and with fruit and corn prevailing and enough oak and spice character to keep it lively. The palate shows that once again we have corn right from the fore, loads of honey, rye, peppery bite, burned sugar, maple, and again that apple note. Moderate length -fruity with caramel and peppery spice on the finish. A very easy to drink, quality bourbon, mellow and rich. A wonderful rich bourbon that puts the other bourbons in its to shame. WOW!
