• Distilled at MGP in Indiana; aged, blended, and bottled at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, by Pinhook Master Blender Sean Josephs
• Mash bill of 75% corn, 20.5% rye, 4.5% malted barley
• Aged 10 years
• Vatting of 75 barrels
• On the nose, deep, satisfying notes of burnt orange, brioche and butterscotch are punctuated by clove, evolving into a rich palate of brandied cherry, salted caramel, and candied pecan with warming proof on the finish framed by a whiff of cedar box and cinnamon stick
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at a cask strength of 57.95% ABV

An intriguing twist on Pinhook’s vintage-driven ethos of identifying and crafting the best whiskey, this limited release focuses on a specially chosen tranche of 1,350 MGP high-rye bourbon barrels (with similar fill dates and identical mash bills) as they age from four to sixteen years. Launched in 2019, the “gold wax” Vertical Series vats barrels each year from the original selection, showcasing both the blender’s art and the way a stable of carefully selected whiskeys evolves during maturation.
