Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey PX Cask Finish “Vote for Pedro”
Straight Rye Whiskey | 55.85% ABV (111.7 Proof) | 750 mL | PX Cask Finish | Aged 5.6 Years | Barrel Name: “Vote for Pedro”
Process & Profile
Hillrock Double Cask Rye Whiskey PX Cask Finish “Vote for Pedro” is a bold, limited rye built around a multi-cask maturation program that layers spice, oak depth, and dessert-like sweetness. It begins with Hillrock’s rye aged in two separate new charred American white oak barrels, then finishes in rare Pedro Ximénez (PX) wine casks. That PX finish is the signature twist—rounding the whiskey with a richer texture and adding a fruit-and-citrus lift that plays beautifully against rye’s peppery backbone.
Bottled at a powerful 111.7 proof, this is a sipper with weight and presence. The high proof delivers a thicker mouthfeel and a longer finish, while the PX cask influence helps keep the experience smooth and layered rather than sharp.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rye spice, toasted oak, dark sweetness, hints of dried fruit
Palate: Peppery rye, caramelized oak, silky sweetness, citrus brightness
Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice, soft sweetness, and a refined wine-cask fade
