Pinhook Launches Vertical Series Rye 7 Year
Pinhook has announced the launch of its latest release, the Vertical Series Rye 7 Year.
The Pinhook Vertical Series follows a single group of bourbon and rye barrels sourced from Midwest Grain Products (MGP) of Indiana as they mature from four to 12 years of age at Castle & Key in Frankfort, Kentucky. Made with a set mash bill (95% rye and 5% malted barley), barrels, and similar fill dates, the only thing affecting aroma and flavor of the spirit is the aging process itself.
Pinhook Vertical Series Rye 7 Year is blended from 28 barrels and bottled at 105.12 proof (52.56% ABV). It’s described as having aromas of “caramel, orange zest, cedar, and clove,” followed by notes of “chocolate, root beer, cardamom, and tobacco” on the palate.
Staying true to its racehorse roots, Pinhook is dedicated to showcasing a thoroughbred on each bottle. The Vertical Series Rye bottles all feature Tiz Rye Time, a magnificent thoroughbred colt that competed at Churchill Downs, Keeneland, and Saratoga Springs racetracks. With the same horse on each bottle representing this series, the different vintages can be identified by the geometric shapes on their labels, which change every year, as well as the age statement on the top label.
Pinhook Vertical Series Rye 7 Year carries a retail price of $77.99 and is available now through Breeze (Pinhook’s text-to-buy platform) and at select retailers nationwide.
