Black Maple Hill

Returns to Kentucky..

Black Maple Hill is back—reintroduced by Rare Character with a renewed focus on quality, authenticity, and a return to its Kentucky roots.

Long regarded as one of the most intriguing names in American whiskey, Black Maple Hill built its reputation on exceptional sourced barrels and a distinct profile that stood apart. This next chapter brings the brand back to the place that defined it, with a clear intention: to reconnect with what made it matter in the first place.

Black Maple Hill remained a distinctive and influential name in bourbon history.

A Return to What Made It Iconic

Rare Character’s revival centers on a simple idea: bring Black Maple Hill back to its roots.

This relaunch is focused on bringing Black Maple Hill back to its foundation: well-sourced, high-quality Kentucky whiskey.

The first releases include:

• Kentucky Straight Bourbon (95 Proof)
  A balanced, approachable bourbon that leans into classic Kentucky character—structured, warm, and easy to return to.

• 16-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon (95 Proof)
  A more limited expression built from older stocks, offering depth and maturity while staying true to the brand’s original appeal.

This isn’t about reinventing the brand. It’s about getting back to what made it worth talking about.
