Ever have one of those shower thoughts and think, wait, who invented the cowboy hat? Well, that is a shower conundrum we can help you solve (You'll need to take care of the meaning-of-life-ones yourself, sorry): it was John Batterson Stetson who also founded the John B. Stetson Company. The hats soon became known simply as Stetsons. The company was set up during the Gold Rush in the 1860s and there were ups and downs in their story. At one point, the company was largest headwear producer in the world, but today the hats are made by Hatco in Garland, Texas.
John B. Stetson Straight Bourbon Whiskey pays a tribute to the American icon of cowboy hats. This fantastic sour mash Whiskey is distilled in Kentucky and bottled by John B. Stetson Spirits, LLC. It’s quintessentially American: crafted from native American corn and local wheat, rye, and barley, it’s then matured in charred American oak barrels. (All that’s missing is Dolly Parton singing the national anthem, dressed as an eagle, eating fries, amirite?) Bottled at 84 proof, the flavors of vanilla, char, spice, and fruit on the palate are for you to enjoy any way you like. On the rocks, in a cocktail, neat, whatever you want.

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in John B. Stetson Straight Bourbon Whisky and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.
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!
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.
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.
