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.

A rich and flavorful blend of four Bourbons from a legendary family.
What would happen if the descendants of the legendary Beam family got the itch to reenter the distilling business? This is what would happen… meet Limestone Branch Distillery.
Steve and Paul Beam launched their fledgling distillery and released their first super-premium Spirits in 2015. The initial results were so promising, that industry giant Luxco bought a 50% stake to provide distribution and expansion capital. So far their line-up contains three gold-medal-winning Whiskies and they are just getting started.
The first Yellowstone brand Whiskey was created by Taylor & Williams in the late 1800s. The brand changed hands many times over the years, but most recently arrived at Luxco — who has partnered with Limestone Branch to revitalize the brand. And it makes sense because Steve and Paul’s great-granduncle was the original distiller for the brand back in the day.
Yellowstone Select Bourbon is a blend of four sourced Kentucky Bourbons — hand-picked for taste and balance — and bottled at a perfect and flavorful 46.5% ABV.
The selected Bourbons are aged for 4 and 7 years for an exclusive old-fashioned Whiskey that honors the rich family heritage. This worthy dram won Gold at the 2018 San Francisco World as well as at the 2016 Berlin International Spirits Competition, Gold at the 2018 SIP Awards, plus more Silver Medals.
Smartass Corner:
The original Yellowstone Whiskey was distilled in a log-still. It was basically a hallowed-out log filled with copper pipe that was used for primary distillation.

Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
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!
Limestone Branch Distillery, which produces Yellowstone Bourbon, also makes Minor Case Bourbon and Bowling & Burch Gin.
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.

Ain’t nothing more American than a white picket fence, a slice of apple pie and Dolly Parton belting out the national anthem in her finest American flag leotard. Yessir.
But listen — it’s best to enjoy all of that star-spangled glory with a big ol’ glug of Whiskey. Hell, maybe two. And wouldn’t you know it, Whiskey is just as iconically American as ol’ Uncle Sam himself.
Whiskey is living its best life here in the U.S. Yeah, yeah… other countries, too. But when it comes to a bottle that’s different and bold, Whiskey is manifesting its righteous destiny all across the United States. And that’s something worth toasting to!
