Pinhook 6 Year Bourbon War Vertical Series

Sweet forward. Cinnamon finish.

Dark! Full, rich flavor

Store pick, 58.9% ABV Nose- lots of sweetness. Butterscotch, caramel and a hint of orange. Really great scents Taste- a bit of a let down from how great the nose was. More caramel, molasses, cinnamon and clove spice. All flavor very faint Finish- medium, weirdly dry finish. Some of that spice lingers along with some toasted notes Overall- amazing nose but the palate is a major let down. Smooth and inoffensive, but underwhelming from a flavor standpoint. I’d expect more at almost 118 proof.

It’s a sharper bourbon for obvious reasons (6 year), but you can see the potential. Someone mentioned oily…that’s a good thing. Thin bourbons are for the birds. Good taste profile, too. This one surprised me and I’d probably purchase it again. Definitely doesn’t fall into the mixer category.

oily and sickly sweet, bitter
