Tastes

I really enjoyed this bourbon at a friend’s house. It was smooth and easy to drink. I’d definitely buy this myself except for the price point. In NC it retails for for $79 (!) and that’s about $40 more than I’d pay for it. Oh, and yes I did use “smooth” to describe a whiskey and I’m taking the word back. Stop pretending you don’t know what it means! When you shave your face, do you exclaim ooh, my face is so friendly? No! You say it’s as __________ as a _________ and everyone knows what you mean. Nuff said. Buy Widow Jane 10yr at a bar. Try it at a friends house. It’s tasty, but not $40 better than Eagle Rare or Henry McKenna BiB.

Distilled by MGP, blended and bottled by Castle & Key and final selection made by master taster and founder of Pinhook, Sean Josephs. Damn fine example of a 95/5 rye. Well done.

My bottling is 4.5 years, 50.9 ABV, 80% rye and 20% malted barley. If you enjoy OF Rye then this one will taste similar but, with all of the flavor notes dialed up to 11. Awesome rye!

The barrels come from MGP but, the blending and bottling is by Castle & Key. The final selection is made Pinhook founder and master taster Sean Josephs. This is a fine example of a 95/5 rye. Don’t pass it up.
