For National Bourbon Day, join founders Jeffrey Baker and Cathy Franklin for an intimate Founders Bourbon Experience — an exclusive opportunity to explore how Hillrock Estate Distillery hand-crafts Bourbon the way it was made in the 1800s — when whiskey was locally grown and reflected the unique terroir of place. As a true Field-To-Glass® Estate whiskey distillery, Hillrock controls every step of the process including farming, floor malting, small batch distilling, aging and bottling, all on the Hillrock Estate in the Hudson Valley.
This immersive experience offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the estate-grown process, from the field to the still and rickhouse where the whiskey is crafted and matured. Guests will gain a deeper understanding of the craftsmanship, patience, and innovation that define Hillrock’s award-winning bourbons while enjoying a guided tasting of select expressions and barrel thieving. Celebrate National Bourbon Day with an authentic bourbon experience rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and the revival of traditional American whiskey-making.
