Pinhook Collaboration Series 10 Year Old Edition No. 1

When Wine Works with Whiskey and Wins.

This story started in the Big Apple, specifically at the famed NYC-based Per Se restaurant with 3 Michelin stars, where equally passionate and knowledgeable friends met. Pinhook is anything but your average Bourbon and Rye brand. It borrows from Pinkhooking. A term used in horse racing refers to buying based on lineage and selling when the product is more mature. Some call it ‘flipping,’ some ‘buy low, sell high,’ we, on the other hand, are here for the superb and affordable (!) juice. It also takes inspiration from wine-making from the funder’s experience as a certified sommelier. The magic happens, duh, in Kentucky, the horse racing and Bourbon capitol at the Castle & Key distillery.

This bottle is a result of a fruitful friendship. The collaboration between the Pinhook founder Sean Josephs and André Hueston Mack, the first African-American expert to get the Best Young Sommelier’ in the USA title, birthed 2 batches. The dram in hand is crafted by a masterful blend of 10 Wyoming Whiskies that Pinhook crew brought to ‘start their own thing’. Only five barrels per collection exist, making this expression the perfect candidate to start ‘pinhooking’ your Bourbon collection with. This inaugural release is destined to get you hooked!
