Pinhook Releases Artist Series No. 3 Double Blended Bourbon
Pinhook Bourbon has released the third vintage in its limited edition Artist Series collection, Artist Series No. 3 Double Blended Bourbon. For this year’s vintage, Pinhook borrowed a technique used in making Cognac. During that process, Brandy is taken from barrels, blended, and then returned to the barrels for further aging.
Pinhook has re-barreled one micro-blend at cask strength and a second at 110 proof to see how wood and whiskey might interact at varying proofs. The resulting bourbon is described as “deep and rich with harmonious fruit-forward flavors like apricot and dried mango.”
Pinhook Bourbon’s Artist Series dedicates each vintage’s label to feature original work commissioned by a renowned artist and inspired by the whiskey itself. This year’s vintage features artwork by New Orleans-based artist, Alexa Pulitzer. To capture the story behind this bottle, Alexa created an illustration of Pinhook’s Master Blender, Sean Josephs, deeply engrossed in the blending process.
Distilled at Castle & Key and bottled by Kentucky Artisan Distillery, Pinhook Artist Series No. 3 Double Blended Bourbon will be available on Breeze (Pinhook’s text-to-buy service) and at select retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $81.99.
