Hillrock x Anthrax Evil Twin II

dec 14TH, 2020

“Evil Twin II has the perfect rye spice and an amazing balance between sweet and dry. Maple, vanilla, clove, cinnamon, citrus, smokey wood all working together brilliantly.” – Scott Ian

Hillrock Double Cask Rye is a unique American whiskey, handcrafted in small batches from 100% rye grain, which has been naturally grown, small batch pot distilled, aged, and bottled all on our Hudson Valley estate. After aging in new #3 char American oak casks, the award-winning whiskey is then aged in #4 char new American oak casks which add layers of caramel and vanilla to complement traditional rye spice. The Double Cask Rye’s deep golden amber color is highlighted by warm and inviting aromas of vanilla and caramel with hints of prune.

Apricot and rye spice round out the nose. Initial caramel sweetness on the palate is followed by mint, clove, and cinnamon spices before fading to a caramel, butterscotch conclusion with a long, warm, and sweet finish. A deep, dark, rich rye, this barrel is a complex spice road with notes of ginger, maple, cinnamon, and vanilla. Even at 116.5 proof, the mouthfeel of this highly limited expression is soft as silk and beautifully dense.

Limited to only 222 bottles.
