Pinhook’s Vertical Series is more than a whiskey release — it’s a study in time and transformation. With the 10-Year expression, the brand draws on a carefully selected group of just 75 barrels, matured in Kentucky’s unique climate, to deliver a bourbon of depth, focus and evolving character.

From distillation to bottling, every step reflects the philosophy of patience and precision: the corn-forward mashbill is shaped by slow aging in charred new oak, with the rye giving structure and spice. At 10 years, the whiskey has developed layers of maturity without losing its youthful vitality.

Aromas of burnt orange, toasted brioche and warm spice meet rich notes of candied pecan and salted caramel. The palate is layered but linear — brandied cherry, dark vanilla, cinnamon and a hint of smoke lead into a well-measured finish that lingers. This is a bourbon to sip, reflect on, and savour.
