2021
High Proof Rye

Hard Rye Guy
Showcasing exceptional balance at 122 proof, Pinhook 2021 High Proof Rye brims with warm and nutty notes of chocolate, black pepper and cedar wood. Black cherry and sorghum notes permeate the palate, finishing with spiced notes of cinnamon and black licorice.

Pinhook has no target flavor profile, only an ethos to produce the best whiskey each and every vintage.

With limited annual releases comprising a small selection of our finest barrels, Pinhook’s High Proof Rye is blended for whiskey enthusiasts and connoisseurs to get the best whiskey from those barrels, rather than the same one that came before. Every vintage is bottled close to cask strength, at a proof chosen to maximize complex flavors and integrate them with the alcohol for a long and balanced finish. Like all of our whiskeys, it is bottled unfiltered.
