Pinhook Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Pinhook Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a Kentucky-based brand known for releasing vintage-specific bourbons and ryes, treating each release like a unique horse racing season rather than a consistent, replicable product. Founded in 2011, Pinhook Bourbon is characterized by small-batch blending, and it currently distills its own whiskey at Castle & Key Distillery, aiming to bring a fresh, high-quality take to American whiskey.

Michter's Kentucky Straight Bourbon US*1
In contrast to Michter's Rye, Michter's US*1 Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash composed primarily of ripe, American corn. Once the grains have been harvested, they are milled and mashed before being fermented and then distilled through a copper-pot still. Following distillation, the bourbon is matured in hand-selected white oak barrels, which contributes a rich, amber color to the whiskey.
Rumored: 73% Corn • 17% Rye • 10% Malted Barley • High Rye
