Every year Pinhook releases a new bourbon and rye each connected to a promising young thoroughbred. The whiskey in each release is the best expression of Pinhook barrels at that moment in time and the company blends and proofs releases to be as unique as the horse on the label. The Vertical Series is a one-time opportunity to follow a group of barrels all filled within months of each other as they age. Crop 2019 Corn 75 Rye 20.5 Malted Barley 4.5 Proofed at 98 this straight bourbon whiskey has a bright nose of tropical fruit butterscotch and cedar leading to a rich and vibrant palate of dried fig cocoa roasted peanut and clove. Every year over the next 9 years Pinhook will select 150 bourbon barrels and 50 rye barrels to be blended and proofed creating the most balanced expression for the vintage. Join Pinhook on the journey beginning with their inaugural 4 Year old bourbon and collect and enjoy the Vertical Series in annual releases from age 4 to age 12. The Rye Vertical Series will begin in the spring of 2020. The Horse on the Bottle The inaugural line of the Pinhook Vertical Series is paired with Bourbon War Tapit – My Conquestadory by Artie Schiller. One of the most promising horses to date Bourbon War after narrowly missing the 2019 Kentucky Derby was able to run in the Preakness as well as The Belmont. Pinhook can’t wait to watch this horse mature along with their future releases of bourbon.
