Master Blender Sean Josephs blends and proofs every release, and the rye is made from Pinhook's own mash bill of 60% rye, 20% corn and 20% malted barley, all non-GMO and locally sourced grains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage showcases bright aromas of pear, clove, walnut and honeycomb. These transition to a vibrant palate of baked apple, black pepper and toffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bold, smooth everyday rye at a proof that stands up to ice and cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinhook was established in 2014, and each annual release is blended to reflect the character of that specific year rather than to match a fixed house profile. The approach has earned recognition: the 2021 vintage took a Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rye is aged in charred new oak barrels before Sean Josephs blends the barrels and proofs the whiskey to the strength where it drinks best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pear, clove, walnut, honeycomb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baked apple, black pepper, toffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and spicy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinhook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castle \u0026amp; Key Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight rye whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% rye, 20% corn, 20% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99 proof (49.5% ABV)\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\u003eA bold sipper neat or over ice, and a natural for a Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Castle \u0026amp; Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e60% rye, 20% corn and 20% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e99 proof, bottled unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye\"\u003eRye collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinhook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68029495705909,"sku":"VWS200427409","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-26699.webp?v=1793730332","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/pinhook-straight-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
