Black Maple Hill 11 Year Old Premium Small Batch is not simply another release, but the expression that set the standard. It brings a sense of historical accuracy into a new era, honoring the character. Rare Character proudly announces the official reintroduction of Black Maple Hill, one of the most enigmatic and revered names in American whiskey. With a renewed commitment to quality and authenticity, Rare Character is returning the brand to its spiritual home in Kentucky—honoring the heritage that first made it a cult favorite among bourbon enthusiasts.
Black Maple Hill has a wonderful, trusting nose on it. The big orange citrus opening welcomes all. Hints of corn and honey develop as more air mixes with the bourbon. Traces of oak and spice hide in the background. Deliciously sweet aroma. And then, you taste it. The sweet nose completely disappears, and a very dry corn flavor takes over. It’s quite shocking how different the nose and palate are from each other. It was something I wasn’t expecting, and that’s not necessarily a good thing in this case. Some rye spice develops on the mid to heavy back end.
