Process & Profile

Pinhook 11 Year Vertical Series Straight Bourbon 2026 Release is the latest chapter in Pinhook’s ambitious Bourbon Vertical Seriesa 13-year project following the evolution of the same group of whiskey barrels as they mature from four to sixteen years old. The 2026 release reaches 11 years of ageand is blended from just 62 barrels then bottled unfiltered at cask strength 114.4 proof (57.2% ABV)

The Vertical Series began with a group of approximately 1,350 bourbon barrels sourced from MGP with similar fill dates and the same mash bill. Those barrels have been aging Castle & Key Distillery in Kentucky with Pinhook selecting and blending a portion each year to showcase how the whiskey changes as it gains another year of maturity.

The officially disclosed mash bill is 75% corn, 20.5% rye, and 4.5% malted barley. At 11 years old, the 2026 vintage develops a mature balance of rich sweetness, fruit, spice, and oak, with Pinhook highlighting burnt orange peel, molasses, white pepper, cedar, ripe strawberry, crème brûlée, toasted almond, and candied cinnamon.
