Rock Hill Farms Bourbon Whiskey
Rock Hill Farms Bourbon Whiskey is a single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon at 100 proof (50% ABV), distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, for the Sazerac Company. Drawn from one individual barrel at a time, it uses Buffalo Trace's higher-rye Mash Bill #2 — the same recipe family as Blanton's and Elmer T. Lee — aged in new charred American oak with no age statement, and ships in the brand's signature squat glass decanter with a gold horse topper. Named for a stretch of farmland along the Kentucky River. A 750mL bottle. Buy single-barrel bourbon online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

One Barrel, No Blending
Single barrel means no blending to a house profile — each Rock Hill Farms bottle is exactly what one barrel tasted like the day it was dumped, which is why devotees chase barrel-to-barrel variation. The higher-rye mash bill leans spicier than Buffalo Trace's flagship recipe, and the decanter presentation makes it one of the great gift bottles in American whiskey.

Tasting Notes
The brand publishes no formal tasting notes; in style terms, expect the higher-rye Mash Bill #2 character — baking spice and pepper up front with Buffalo Trace's classic caramel, vanilla and oak underneath — delivered at a full 100 proof, with the barrel-to-barrel variation single-barrel bourbon is prized for.
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate the single-barrel character, with water on standby — 100 proof opens beautifully with a few drops. A natural for an Old Fashioned that lets the rye spice lead.
Frequently Asked Questions

How old is Rock Hill Farms? No age statement is given; the often-cited 8–10 years is reviewer consensus, not a label claim.
Is every bottle the same? No — each bottle comes from one individual barrel, so character varies barrel to barrel by design.
