Every year, Pinhook releases a new batch of bourbon & rye. Blends and proofs change batch to batch to highlight that release’s unique attributes and can be appropriately thought of as a whiskey vintage. The newly restored Castle & Key Distillery, in Frankfort, KY, plays home to Pinhook’s operations.

Spirits Industry veteran Dave Schmier began Proof & Wood in 2015 with the goal of compiling a portfolio of some of the best spirits in the world through the time-honored tradition of independent blending and bottling.

Rye & Sons ia blended American straight rye whiskey distilled in Kentucky and brought to market by celebrated sommelier, André Hueston Mack. Mack brings a winemaker's approach to a rye released in annual vintages and created for easy-sipping and affordable cocktailing.
