Taconic Distillery Rum Rolling Hills

Producer: Taconic Distillery

Country: United States

Region: New York

Style: Rum

Born from sugarcane molasses, this gentle rum has been aged for two years in bourbon barrels and spends its last few months finishing in recently emptied Taconic Distillery’s Founder Rye Whiskey barrels. It is then cut to a mouth watering 80 proof with fresh spring water from their farm. In the glass, the rum is gold, copper and bronze depending on how it’s struck by the light. A swirl of the snifter and subsequent taste yield a touch of caramel complemented by vanilla and a hint of bourbon. The rum has a medium to long finish which leaves trails of baking spices gently warming your throat. Rolling Hills is a versatile rum, good for sipping and excellent for mixing.

When Lewis & Clark set out on their expedition in 1804, they knew a thing or two about how to read the land, the water and the skies along the way. Their survival, although never guaranteed, was backed by pure brawn and bravery. Well-honed skills of hunting and fishing, passed down through generations, provided the sustenance to persevere. Loyalty provided the drive to succeed. Today, we honor that genuine American spirit by toasting our Dutchess Private Reserve high to the sky, and with every drop, we say thank you to those who forged the way through uncharted rivers, vast prairies and seemingly impassable mountains. It is thanks to them that we lead the life we lead today: one that freely celebrates our country’s history, its ancestors and the wilderness they discovered on behalf of an entire nation.
