Raising the bar with this fruity and smooth perfection 

Paul Jones Junior was a man of the future, a guy with a smart mind and a lucky hand, a brave-hearted hero who made Prohibition a more bearable period for his fellow men. Our story starts in 1888, when he moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to start the dreamy Four Roses Whiskey brand, introducing an average Kentucky Joe to a delicious treat, improving their lives instantly. But the biggest achievement of his life came later: in 1922, he purchased the Frankfort Distilling Company, which gained him the right to sell Four Roses as a medicinal Whiskey. And that, dear reader, as you have probably already guessed, meant this godly Spirit could be sold even during Prohibition, shining some much-needed light on the dark dark days of the Period We Shall Not Mention Again.

Four Roses Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the main reasons Four Roses Master Distiller Brent Elliott was named Master Distiller/Blender of the year by the Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky America in 2020, if you ask us. This spectacular Bourbon with an elegant flavor of ripe fruits and an incredible smoothness is made using one of the 10 original recipes of the distillery. It was aged for 6-7 years before being hand-selected to be bottled at 100 proof and sent out into the world for everyone to enjoy (which is best to do with some ice).

Four Roses is the only distillery we are aware of that uses single level storage rick-houses to age their core Whiskey. They do this because they believe that variations in temperature, pressure, and humidity within multi-story warehouses makes for inconsistent Bourbon.
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

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!

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.

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.
