This 2025 bottling marks a milestone as the series reaches double-digit maturation, and it features the thoroughbred Bourbon War on the label: Pinhook takes its name from the horse-racing practice of pinhooking, buying young thoroughbreds to raise and sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high-rye bourbon shows a deepening maturity, balancing rich oak with spice and fruit complexity developed over a full decade in the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA collector's release for anyone following the Vertical Series, and a fine gift for bourbon lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a little water to open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraight bourbon must be aged at least two years in new charred oak, and every additional year in the barrel adds colour, sweetness and oak structure while the spirit loses volume to evaporation, the angel's share. Tasting the same barrels at different ages, as the Vertical Series allows, is a rare way to see that process at work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich oak, spice and fruit complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask strength, 115.9 proof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinhook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Cask Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical Series 2025, Bourbon War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115.9 proof (57.95% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then with a few drops of water.
