The fourth of nine annual releases in the Rye Vertical Series and awarded Best Rye Whiskey at the New Orleans Spirits Competition.

The Vertical Series is a unique opportunity to follow a group of 450 MGP rye barrels, as they age from four to twelve years, and experience the arc of flavors throughout the nine-year journey. Beginning with this inaugural vintage, Pinhook will blend a new batch of approximately 50 rye barrels each spring and set a proof to maximize the balance and complexity of the whiskey at that age.
