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 their barrels at that moment in time, and they blend and proof releases to be as unique as the horse on the label.\xa0

The Rye Vertical Series is a unique opportunity to follow a group of 450 MGP barrels as they age from 4 to 12 years, and experience the arc of flavors throughout the 9-year journey.

Each year Pinhook also allows a select number of groups and retailers to be a part of the vertical series - with each release we select a barrel. This is our 8-year Single Barrel Rye.\xa0

Where our 7-year single barrel rye was a highlight to maple and mint sugars, this 8-year showcases more of the candied citrus, fruit, and mint.

Like a rich old fashioned on the nose - toasted orange zest, toffee, cedar, heavy demerara syrup, herbal dark cherry.\xa0

The palate leads with sugar tumbled dark fruits, green apple candy, brown sugar, white pepper, allspice and charred oak.\xa0

The finish has a great balance of sweet and spice, lingering with toffee, cinnamon butter, clove and well aged oak.\xa0
