One of the best Bourbons of the year, this time at cask strength.
 
Iron Smoke Distillery is a fairly new addition to the craft distilling community located in Upstate New York. In that part of the state they grow a lot of apples. So it is only natural that this local crop would have an impact on the spirits they produce. Currently, there are four products in the Iron Smoke family — Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Iron Smoke Casket Strength, Rattlesnake Rosie's Apple Pie Whiskey and Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whiskey.
 
One of the limited edition release is Iron Smoke CASKet Strength. It might be hard to think that you could improve on their Straight Bourbon — after all, it won Double Gold at the North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition and was rated 95.5 in the 2018 edition of Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible. But the good folks at Iron Smoke realized that if their award-wining Bourbon was great at 40% ABV, it would be even better at cask strength. And that’s exactly what they did. Iron Smoke Casket Strength is a powerhouse at 60% ABV (120 proof).
 
 
Smartass corner:
The company mascot has always been “Skully.” This powerful Bourbon at cask strength made the pun “CASKet Strength” irresistible.

Appearance / Color
Fiery Bronze
 
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is vary powerful… you can smell the raw Bourbon spice along with the vanilla, hot toffee, and wild western herbal notes with a bit of apple.
 
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Even if you drink your Whiskey straight, this Bourbon blooms with a single ice cube — revealing notes of pecan pie, braised apples, caramel apples, thick baking spices, and tobacco smoke.
 
Finish 
The finish is long, spicy, and lightly sweet.

Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
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.

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.
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.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
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.
