A legend returns. 🥃
Black Maple Hill 16-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Revived by Rare Character Wh***ey Co.
For two decades, Black Maple Hill was a name whispered among collectors — a cult Kentucky bourbon built on legendary stocks that produced some of the most sought-after pours in American wh***ey history. Then it went quiet.
Now it’s back. Reborn in Kentucky. Bottled at its historic 95 proof. Aged a full 16 years.
Rare Character — the team behind Fortuna and Brook Hill — didn’t just buy a name. They brought it home.
On the nose: dark caramel, worn leather, cherry cola, toasted oak, to***co. On the palate: butterscotch, maple syrup, dried fruit, cinnamon, toasted nuts. The finish: long, warming — aged oak, dark chocolate, a whisper of smoky char.
Highly allocated. Extremely limited. If you know the history, you know what this bottle means.
