Pinhook Bourbon Resolve is the 2023 vintage of Pinhook's High Proof Bourbon, aged more than four years and bottled at 117.6 proof (58.8% ABV).
Pinhook's High Proof Bourbon is a limited annual release, crafted from a carefully selected blend of barrels chosen to show off the year's finest character. Each vintage gets its own name and horse-themed label, and the 2023 release is called Resolve.
The nose is warm and rich, with molasses, roasted peanuts and caramel, leading to a dense palate of baked apricot, vanilla and burnt sugar. At nearly 118 proof it is full-bodied and flavor-rich, meant for true enthusiasts.
It makes a fine gift for collectors of vintage bourbon releases.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
