Pinhook Bourbon Vertical Series 2025 10 year 750ml

Pinhook's Vertical Series is the brand's annual look at what another year in oak does to the same stock, and the 2025 release lands at ten years old. Pinhook names its bottles after racehorses and blends each year toward a target profile rather than repeating a fixed recipe, which is why the series reads as a set instead of a run of one-offs. The nose is caramel, dried cherry and cedar, the palate carries toffee, baking spice, dark orchard fruit and a firm seasoned oak spine, and the finish is long, dry and lightly tannic. Drink it neat, and pour a younger Pinhook beside it if you want the series to make its point.
