Pinhook 4 Year Old Bourbon War Vertical Series Inaugural 98 Proof Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2019) 75cl

Whisky Situation are the first UK retailers with Pinhook Bourbon in stock.

The first release of the vertical series for Pinhook!

Bourbon War 4 Year represents the first release in a 9 year vertical series. Every year Pinhook will create a small batch from a set of barrels that was distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. This will allow consumers to experience the slight nuances of how bourbon changes as it gains an extra year in the barrel. The series will eventually conclude with a 12 year old bourbon released in 2027.

For the inaugural year, 150 barrels were selected and were proofed to 98 proof, however the proof may vary year to year as the series progresses. Additionally, the price won’t stay consistent either. Each annual release will increase an estimated $5-10, taking into account the cost of storing the barrels as they continue to age.

Through a partnership with Bourbon Lane Stable LLC, each lot of Pinhook whiskey showcases an individual thoroughbred. According to Pinhook, Bourbon War was foaled on February 23, 2016. Bourbon War after narrowly missing the 2019 Kentucky Derby, was able to run in the Preakness as well as The Belmont.
