Tasting Notes

Pinhook’s Bourbon Vertical Series is a unique opportunity to follow a group of high-rye MGP bourbon barrels as they age from 4 to 12 years and to experience the evolution of flavor throughout that 9-year journey. The fourth of nine releases, 2022’s expression is a 7-year-old straight bourbon whiskey distilled at MGP in Indiana before being aged, blended, and bottled at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, KY, by Pinhook Master Blender, Sean Josephs. With a mash bill of 75% corn, 20.5% rye, and 4.5% malted barley, this bold and piquant bourbon exhibits a warm and opulent nose with aromas of freshly baked raisin bread, brown butter, and burnt sugar which transition to a rich palate of ginger snap cookies, dried fig, molasses, and hint of eucalyptus. The highest proof yet of a Vertical Series bourbon, Bourbon War is only getting better with age. Non-chill filtered; 57.5% ABV.
