"Pinhook has always liked focusing on single vintages, whether via its Vertical Series or more recently in its core bourbon and rye line, each produced using proprietary mash bills at Kentucky's Castle & Key distillery. The 2024 vintage of Pinhook's straight rye arrives at an approachable 45 percent ABV, brimming with attractive brown sugar, orange creme brûlée, and vanilla notes."
