Wasn't expecting a lot out of this, so I'm pleasantly surprised. Caramel apple, strong cinnamon and clove, a little hot, but maybe not quite as much as you might expect considering the proof and youth. Pretty straight forward, but nothing really too off about it. Tastes young, but there's no prominent craft whiskey funk. I think fairly comparable to New Riff and Blue Note Uncut barrel pick.
Update 1: side-by-side with New Riff Single Barrel, I get a little more ethanol with the NR and a little more sourness with the Pinhook. Considering I acquired the Pinhook about 10$ less than the NRSB, it's close considering value. The NR is better, especially if you can get it closer to 40$.
Update 2: like the Blue Note, this seemed to get worse the more I had of it. Score dropped a bit.
