An independent label from San Carlos, California, Black Maple Hill whiskey may be a new brand name to many people. In fact, Black Maple Hill is not a real place, nor a distillery. It's actually an operation, owned by Paul Joseph, where whiskey provided by Kentucky bourbon distillers, Willet, is blended and then labelled by Joseph and distributed under the Black Maple Hill name.
Celebrated in recent years as being one of the best new finds for whiskey fans (helped along by its gorgeous label design), Black Maple Hill currently distributes two expressions: bourbon and rye.
