Pinhook Vertical Series 10 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey hails from Indiana-distilled stocks at MGP, carefully selected and bottled by Pinhook in Kentucky as part of its acclaimed long-term aging project. Drawn from just 75 barrels, this release captures a decade of maturation with a deep, inviting aroma of burnt orange, brioche, butterscotch, and clove that immediately signals its age and intent.

The palate unfolds with brandied cherry, salted caramel, candied pecan, and cinnamon stick, rich yet composed, showing the balance Pinhook aims for at this stage of the Vertical Series journey. The mash bill leans classic and expressive at 75 percent corn, 20.5 percent rye, and 4.5 percent malted barley, bottled at a bold 115.9 proof that carries flavor without overpowering nuance.

Best enjoyed neat to explore its full arc, or with a few drops of water to open sweetness and spice, this 10 Year expression stands as a confident snapshot in Pinhook’s annual progression, named for Bourbon War and crafted for collectors and serious bourbon drinkers alike.
