Pinhook Straight Rye Whiskey 2025 Release
Process & Profile
Pinhook Straight Rye Whiskey 2025 Release is a vintage expression from Pinhook, a Louisville, Kentucky-based independent bottler known for its innovative approach to whiskey. Distilled at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky—the historic site of the original Old Taylor Distillery—this rye is crafted using a proprietary mash bill of 60% rye, 20% corn, and 20% malted barley, all sourced locally and non-GMO. Aged for over 3 years in charred new oak barrels, the whiskey is blended by Master Blender Sean Josephs to highlight the unique attributes of the barrels, then proofed to an ideal sipping strength. Bottled unfiltered at 99 proof (49.5% ABV), this release features a signature green wax seal, reflecting Pinhook’s modern aesthetic. The 2025 vintage continues the brand’s tradition of annual releases, each distinct yet consistently excellent, as evidenced by the 2024 vintage earning gold at the SIP Awards and platinum at the Ascot Awards.
