Welcome to the Chill Filtered Podcast, where this week, we sit down with a special square bottle of bourbon and talk about life and whiskey.

On today's episode, we are sipping on Hillrock Estate Solera Aged Bourbon. This bourbon is made using traditional solera aging techniques, which involve aging the whiskey in a series of barrels and continuously blending the different aged whiskeys together.
