Pinhook Straight Rye Whiskey Vertical Series 2024, 9 Years, 750ml

Winner of the IWSC 2025 Award! Pinhook Vertical Series 9 Year Bourbon hails from the heart of Kentucky, where it is crafted with a meticulous approach to traditional bourbon-making. This expression showcases the depth and complexity that comes from nearly a decade of aging in charred oak barrels. The bourbon's rich character is a testament to the expert blending and selection of grains used in its production.

On the nose, the 9 Year Bourbon offers enticing aromas of vanilla, caramel, and oak, with subtle hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit adding layers of complexity. The palate is a harmonious blend of sweet and spicy notes, featuring flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, and a touch of cinnamon. The finish is long and warming, with a delicate balance of oak and spice.

This bourbon is best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its intricate flavors and smooth, well-rounded profile. Alternatively, it can be sipped over a few ice cubes to slightly mellow the intensity while still retaining its rich character. The Pinhook Vertical Series 9 Year Bourbon stands as a remarkable example of Kentucky craftsmanship and aging prowess.
