The Story
Rock Hill Farms Bourbon & Caribou Crossing Canadian Whiskey Bundle — two single barrel expressions from Buffalo Trace's broader portfolio presented together: Rock Hill Farms, a high-rye bottled in bond Kentucky straight bourbon, and Caribou Crossing, a single barrel Canadian whiskey produced under the Sazerac umbrella — a rare pairing of American and Canadian single barrel whisky from adjacent production traditions.
Rock Hill Farms is Buffalo Trace's high-rye single barrel bourbon, bottled in bond at 100 proof from barrels aged approximately 8 years. The rye-forward mash bill produces a spicier, more assertive profile than standard Buffalo Trace — toasted nuts, fruit, chocolate, and marshmallow with a smooth, lingering sweetness.
Caribou Crossing is an unusual Canadian whisky: a true single barrel expression in a category where single barrel bottlings are rare. Produced at the Sazerac Company's Canadian operation, it presents the silky texture that defines premium Canadian whisky — rye grain spice cut through with creamy vanilla custard smoothness, finishing with oak and a tang of orange.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Caribou Crossing? A single barrel Canadian whisky from the Sazerac Company, one of the few true single barrel bottlings in the Canadian whisky category. It is notably softer and silkier than American bourbon — the rye grain character present but cushioned by the blending and aging traditions of Canadian production.
- How do American and Canadian single barrel whisky differ? American single barrel bourbon is aged in new charred American oak by law, producing bolder wood, caramel, and vanilla. Canadian single barrel whisky typically ages in used cooperage and is known for a lighter, silkier profile with more delicate rye and grain character.
- Is this a good cross-border comparison? Yes — Rock Hill Farms and Caribou Crossing are both single barrel expressions but from fundamentally different production traditions, making this an educational pairing for anyone curious about the difference between American bourbon and Canadian whisky.
