Originally released in 2023, it’s a minor miracle that bottles of this coveted single barrel are up for grabs.

Pinhook’s celebrated Vertical Series is composed of a tranche of MGP barrels obtained by Pinhook and aged at Castle & Key Distillery. Annually, select barrels from the tranche are vatted into a limited release that reveals how this whiskey is maturing year over year. The “True Single Barrel” releases from the Vertical Series offer another, even greater lightening-in-a-bottle perspective on this evolution by showcasing a single barrel specially selected for single-cask bottling. At 8 years old, this release offers a candid glimpse into Pinhook’s 5th Vertical Series collection.

"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."
