So many Gold Medals we honestly lost count.

Coppercraft is a relatively young, community-oriented distillery that's resting on the manufacturing coast of Holland, Michigan. Their craftsmanship and passionate spunk already resulted in a jarring bundle of high-quality products worthy of a good brag — from Whiskeys, Gins, and Vodkas all the way down to their Rums. Oh, and they are the first Michigan distiller that added canned cocktails to their offer. They distill, source, and blend their chosen ingredients from all over the States, putting their Spirits through special treatment by rigorously exploring how different distillation methods, barrels, and aging environments affect the final product. Yeah, we know, if you were building your hardworking team, you’d want them to be team captain — which is probably why they draw their inspiration from the crafty mentality of those industrious workers across the nation. And, by choosing superior quality over convenience, they got crowned with the title of the Michigan Distillery of the Year by the New York International Spirits Competition.

Huh, so their Straight Bourbon Whiskey looks like a proper award magnet. No, seriously, if we start scribbling down all of them accolades, your eyes will start rolling back into your skull. Let’s just keep it simple and say that it won two Double Golds and two Golds at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in the last four years. Made with the Brandy blending techniques and bottled at 97 proof, this marriage of 4+ YO and 9+ YO Bourbons impresses with a deliciously rich and smooth palate.

Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.

Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
