Black Maple Hill

Black Maple Hill is a line of very small batch and single barrel extra-aged bourbons and ryes. The brand is owned by CVI Brands of San Carlos, California and sources is whiskey. The earliest BMH releases were bottled for CVI by Julian Van Winkle III at the Hoffman Distillery, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. When JVW left, Black Maple Hill was sourced from Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (KBD) in Bardstown. Like CVI and Van Winkle, KBD (at the time) was not a distiller. The original source of much of the whiskey is still very much of a mystery, what can be said is that it had some very capable hands sourcing and bottling it. Since 2014 CVI has sourced its whiskey for Black Maple Hill from the Stein Distillery in Joseph, Oregon. All of the grain is sourced from either the Stein homestead or in the case of the corn, up the road from a cousin in Hermiston.
