Bourbon Brothers Exclusive

Penelope X Series represents the brand’s boldest step into experimental bourbon making. Crafted in limited releases, each expression showcases innovative cask finishes and unique blending techniques that push beyond traditional bourbon boundaries. Where Penelope’s core range balances four-grain elegance, the X Series explores rich double-cask maturations, rare wine and fortified barrels, and nuanced wood profiles to create layered depth and complexity. We were immediately drawn to the Oloroso Cask finish. It t preserved the essence of exceptional Bourbon while adding nuanced layers from the finishing casks. This particular barrel exceeded expectations, delivering a remarkable palate, with a nose and finish that invite you to indulge repeatedly. 

Pinhook Bohemian Bourbon marks a defining moment for the brand, being the first bourbon distilled entirely at Castle & Key, the historic Kentucky site lovingly restored by Pinhook’s founders.  Bourbon Brothers are very fortunate to be the sole stockiest of what has become one of their finest releases.

Pinhook Bohemian 2020 is bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) a small batch straight bourbon was crafted in 2020  from a mash bill of 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley, and shows impressive depth for its youthful age. It’s expressive, elegant, and shows the promise of Castle & Key’s distillation, making it a standout in the Pinhook lineup.
