Pinhook Straight Rye 2025 Release

The Best, Not the Same, Whiskey Every Year

We could have followed the standard approach to making rye whiskey, replicating the same flavor profile year after year. Instead, we blend our rye in annual vintages that highlight the most exceptional flavors we discover in that year’s barrels, making each release as unique and distinctive as the promising racehorse on its label.

Straight Rye Whiskey

We use our pioneering vintage approach and a custom mash bill to craft a superb everyday rye. Each bottle of our Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey makes for a bold, smooth sipper at a proof that stands up to dilution in cocktails or when poured over ice. Bottled unfiltered.

Our Thoroughbreds

Pinhook is a term for finding young thoroughbreds with champion potential and nurturing them to maturity, much like we do with our barrels. To honor this parallel with whiskey-making, each Pinhook vintage celebrates a promising racehorse just starting its racing career.
