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.

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat first to get the full proof-driven texture and the rye-to-PX transition. Then add a few drops of water to open the citrus and soften the heat while keeping the spice structure intact. A single large cube is excellent if you want a slower evolution—sweetness and fruit tend to rise as it dilutes. This also makes a killer rye Old Fashioned; keep sweetener minimal so the PX character and rye spice stay front and center.
