  • Sixth of thirteen limited annual releases from Pinhook’s Bourbon Vertical Series
  • Distilled at MGP in Indiana; aged, blended, and bottled at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, by Pinhook Co-founder and Master Blender Sean Josephs
  • Mash bill of 75% corn, 20.5% rye, 4.5% malted barley
  • Aged 9 years
  • Vatting of 100 barrels

The Bourbon Vertical Series is a unique opportunity to follow a group of 1,350 MGP high-rye barrels as they age from four to sixteen years—all curated with the attention to flavor profile and proof that distinguishes Pinhook whiskeys. As the lineup grows, so too does demand, but each progressive year also sees a slightly smaller yield: the 9 Year Bourbon War was vatted from twenty barrels less than last year’s release.

"One of the best deals in the business is Pinhook™s ongoing experiment in how age shapes whiskey. Starting a decade ago with 1,350 barrels of sourced MGP bourbon, each year the brand doles out a small batch of it. The most recent offering is the seventh vintage in the series, built by Pinhook™s master blender Sean Josephs from just 75 barrels. The nose is sweet and sugary like Mexican Coke with notes of orange and Italian amaro; the palate skews more decadent and desserty " baked Alaska perhaps, all balanced by oak."
