About Pinhook
The company was founded by three friends who are passionate about American whiskey. While they initially sourced their whiskey from MGP in Indiana, Pinhook now has its operations at the Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. They are known for their unique "pinhooking" approach, which involves selecting promising barrels of whiskey and carefully blending and proofing them to create distinct vintages each year. [link]
​
Pinhook Vertical Series
A limited series of 13 consecutive annual vintages that follows a single group of MGP barrels (with similar fill dates and identical mashbills) as they mature from 4-16 years of age. Different proofs are set each year to best highlight and express the unique attributes of that vintage’s blend. Non-chill filtered.
Collaboration Series
Partnering with luminaries working in other sensory-rich fields in a venture that epitomizes the curiosity-based approach Pinhook was founded on: sourcing great barrels of whiskey and meticulously crafting the blend and proof that brings out their finest characteristics. Expanding the possibilities of American whiskey, and paying tribute to the distillers and palates of those we admire.
