Oola Distillery was founded by Kirby Kallas-Lewis in Seattle's Capitol Hill Neighborhood. All grains for their Spirits are sourced from two organic farms in Eastern Washington. Once the ingredients arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being distilled through Kirby's copper-pot still.

This incredible Oola Waitsburg Bourbon is really not just a nice medley of corn, rye, malted barley and white winter wheat. It's a deeply complex, balanced Bourbon that’s just the right amount of sweet. Post-distillation, the Bourbon is aged in small, American white oak casks that undergo huge temperature swings of up to 50-70° each day. This extreme climate change enhances the interaction between barrels and Spirit, giving the perfect flavor profile. Expect spicy aromas, with hints of cinnamon, ginger and black peppercorn underlying notes of caramel, vanilla, savory pickled notes and chutney the finish is warming.

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

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.
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.
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.

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.
