Wheel Horse Whiskey is produced by Latitude Beverage Company at the O.Z. Tyler Distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky. The distillery is actually owned and operated by a contract producer named Terressentia. There have been a few other acquisitions and name changes along the way, but suffice it to say that the folks know what they are doing and their Whiskies have won a bunch of awards.
Wheel Horse Straight Bourbon Batch #3 is aged the traditional way: in 53 gallon barrels for a minimum of 2 years. For its youth, this dram is shockingly developed and traditional tasting. Crafted from 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, it’s bottled at 101 proof and there’s a creamy mouthfeel with sweet flavors of caramel, vanilla, oak, and rye spice.

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.
