Discover the allure of the Pinhook Bourbon Vertical Series with this dark and decadent 10-year-old single barrel that was hand-selected by The Prime Barrel.
Why the Vertical Series is Important:
- An experiment in bourbon aging.
- Pinhook sourced young barrels from MGP before they started contract distilling their own bourbon.
- When the contract distillate came of age, Pinhook still had 1,350 MGP bourbon barrels on hand.
- They created the Vertical Series, an annual release that showcases the evolution of bourbon flavor from 4 to 16 years old.
- The finest barrels were reserved for a limited annual single-barrel program.
The flavor arc of the Pinhook Bourbon Vertical Series has now reached 10 years. This exclusive single barrel was distilled in August 2015 by MGP in Lawrenceburg, IN, and aged at Castle and Key in Frankfort, KY. Bottled at cask strength of 118.3 proof from a mashbill of 75% corn, 20.5% rye, and 4.5% malted barley, this exquisite barrel underwent a full decade of careful aging.
The eye-catching dark red hue of this barrel immediately caught our eye. From the first pour, it more than lived up to the color with a nose reminiscent of a memorable visit to a rickhouse, a sweet, spicy, and complex palate, and a long, pleasant, classic MGP finish to savor.
Whether you’re new to the Pinhook Bourbon Vertical Series or a seasoned collector, now is the perfect time to acquire a bottle and join the annual journey as the barrels mature. Add this 10-year-old single barrel to your collection today!
