The Pinhook Holiday Gift Guide
We love the pure and unpretentious, the unfussy and well-crafted.
Our gift guide brings a bourbon maker’s eye for the artisanal to a curated mix of gifts...for anyone on your list (including you), on any occasion or just because.
We’re down for great playdates...
HAY PLAY Family Backgammon Set
If this designer game looks like something you’d find in a museum gift shop, it’s because that’s exactly right. At the Museum of Modern Art’s MoMA Design Store. Game pieces in surprising and unconventional colors go boldly where no game has gone before. Hmm. Sounds like a pairing partner for Pinhook. ($45)
Greenpoint Waxed Canvas Picnic Bag
An adventure packed in an insulated cooler and accompanied by its own acacia wood table-for-two. Hello, date night. A bottle of Pinhook, a wedge of cheese, a gorgeous sunset—we’re there. ($129)
We don’t deny it: Bourbon is our love language...
Yarai Stackable Double Rocks Glass
Unstack this 6-pack of 10 oz. double rocks glasses, mix yourself an Old Fashioned and drop in an ice ball. We’re mesmerized by how the light catches on the glass’s diamond pattern and shows off the rich warmth of Pinhook’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon. ($31.99)
Uncommon Goods’ Industrial Brass and Copper Drink Dispenser
Anything handcrafted makes us swoon, especially when it brings a little attitude to the home bar. This industrial drink dispenser, with a reclaimed wood base and brass spout, shows its edge with copper tubing that hugs the bottle (and aerates contents, too). Handmade in the United Kingdom—no stranger to the delights of a good pour. ($160)
Burrow’s Dram Bar Cart
Lithe but sturdy, low-maintenance but hardworking—a bar cart that can dress up or dress down, depending on the bartender and the occasion, and even dress for different roles: office station, cookbook catchall, plant cart, as needed. Like Pinhook, it’s got a go-anywhere attitude and signature versatility. ($295)
We crave comfort on the home front...
Fellow’s Ode Brew Grinder
The coffeeshop comes to your kitchen. AeroPress®, pourover, French press, cold brew...whatever the mood, this grinder shows off its café prowess with a perfect cuppa every time. Just as Pinhook crafts each vintage to express the best whiskey, every time. ($299)
New Haven Elite Oyster Knife
If R. Murphy’s two oyster knife faves (New Haven and Wellfleet) had a baby, this would be it. Contoured and weighted to fit perfectly in your hand, styled with a hand-polished rosewood handle. The curved tip makes professional shuckers smile. Exactly the sort of quality and workmanship Pinhook appreciates. ($39.50)
Onyx Coasters by Claude
Pure sass in a contemporary, clean statement, rather like Pinhook itself. Crafted of semiprecious gemstone, with bands of color that add drama to any setting and whose presence signifies protection and fortune. ($125)
We applaud wardrobe whimsy...
Miron Crosby’s Molly Silver Midi Boots
Plunging scallop. High heel. Pull holes in luscious kidskin. Molly is ready to hit the circuit in a crackly metallic leather inspired by vintage Texas rodeo boots. Handmade. Authentic. Artisanal. We get that. ($995)
