A Prohibition survivor returns. 🥃
Brook Hill 13-Year Kentucky Straight Rye 132.36 Proof · Cask Strength Revived by Rare Character Whiskey Co.
In the late 1800s, Joseph L. Friedman built Brook Hill into one of Kentucky’s most respected whiskey names — bold, refined, and unmistakable in its iconic black label. When Prohibition shuttered nearly every distillery in America, Brook Hill was one of the rare few to earn the right to keep producing — legally. That alone tells you what kind of whiskey it was.
Now Rare Character is bringing it back, and they’re not playing around. Thirteen years of Kentucky aging. 132.36 proof, uncut. A rye built the old way — for people who want their whiskey to mean something.
