The Pinhook Straight Rye 2024 Edition is the latest release in the brand’s innovative vintage series—and it’s an absolute standout for rye lovers. Crafted in small batches with a mash bill of 60% rye, 20% corn, and 20% malted barley, The Pinhook Straight Rye is aged for over three years and bottled unfiltered at 99 proof (49.5% ABV).
Pinhook Straight Rye opens with a warm and welcoming nose of ripe pear, vanilla bean, clove, and wildflower honey. On the palate, it’s lively and well-balanced—expect notes of cherry compote, black tea, creamy toffee, and a dash of white pepper that adds just the right amount of spice. The finish is long and smooth with a dry, herbal fade that invites the next sip.
Pinhook doesn’t operate its own distillery—instead, it partners with Castle & Key to produce its whiskies using custom mash bills and barrel programs. Castle & Key is known for its heritage-rich site (originally the Old Taylor Distillery) and its meticulous approach to craft distilling.
Pinhook 2024 Rye continues the brand’s reputation for producing dynamic, vintage-specific whiskey that evolves year to year. It’s a modern rye with classic structure—perfect for neat pours, elevated cocktails, or collecting. Whether you’re building your rye shelf or exploring Pinhook’s seasonal expressions, this bottle belongs in your rotation.
