Pinhook Vertical Series Straight Rye Whiskey

Experience time as flavor in Pinhook’s Vertical Series Straight Rye Whiskey—at least 8 years (and now 9 as well) in the making. This limited 750 ml bottle, crafted from just 32 select barrels, captures the evolution of rye like few others. Each sip blooms with vibrant spice, offering orange zest and green apple upfront, then deepens into caramel warmth and cedar-rich complexity. Bottled unfiltered at a bold 108.4 proof, it respects tradition while delivering character packed with nuance. It’s not just aged—it’s matured with intention. At the bar or tucked into your collection, it’s its legacy.

We have both 8 (108.4 Proof) and 9 Year (111.2 Proof) expressions. 

Nose: Bright aromas of orange zest, green apple, caramel, and cinnamon.

Palate: Rich layers of licorice, burnt sugar, cedar, and clove.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of spice and subtle sweetness.

Enhance your tasting experience by pairing this exceptional rye whiskey with dishes that complement its complex profile. The vibrant fruit and spice notes harmonize beautifully with grilled or smoked meats, such as a charred ribeye steak or smoked brisket. For a sweet contrast, consider desserts like dark chocolate torte or pecan pie, where the richness balances the whiskey's robust character. These pairings create a balanced and memorable culinary journey.
