  • Aged over 3 years in char #4 new American oak barrels; non-age statement

Embracing vintage variation, Pinhook annually crafts its core whiskies from select mature stock. Each expression highlights the unique attributes of that season’s barrels, so quality (rather than consistency for its own sake) becomes the throughline of the brand. Proofed to this batch’s sweet spot of 50% ABV, with a generous portion of rye in the mash bill, this bourbon doubles as an everyday sipper that glides into blue-ribbon classic cocktails.

"Distilled at the historic Castle & Key distillery, this 3-year Kentucky bourbon is more of an everyday sipper and cocktail component than Pinhook™s impressive œVertical Series,” which is equally worth checking out. The mashbill features rye as the secondary, flavor-giving grain, and leans into notes of burnt brown sugar, dark berries, and cacao. Let it shine in a Manhattan and Old Fashioned before sipping neat, perhaps over a big rock of ice should the season permit."
