The 2024 release of Pinhook 5 Year Old Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bold, high-proof expression that showcases the continued evolution of Pinhook’s proprietary distillate from Castle & Key. Aged for five full years and bottled unfiltered at natural cask strength (proof varies by batch), this release highlights the brand's commitment to vintage-driven whiskey—each release uniquely reflecting the barrel's journey and the year of bottling.

 

Crafted from a mash bill of 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley, it delivers a layered and full-bodied profile. Expect rich aromas of caramel, baked pear, and brown butter, followed by a palate that bursts with vanilla bean, dark cherry, cinnamon, and toasted oak. The higher proof amplifies its spicy, warming character without overwhelming its well-balanced sweetness.

 

This 2024 vintage offers an excellent balance between complexity and approachability, making it a must-have for bourbon enthusiasts seeking a powerful yet elegant pour. Each bottle in the series features a different thoroughbred from Pinhook’s racing stable, blending Kentucky’s twin passions of bourbon and horse racing. Ideal for sipping neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavours, it’s a striking representation of modern American whiskey craft.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and expressive with deep caramel, brown sugar, and toasted oak. Undertones of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of dark cherry emerge with time in the glass.

Palate: Full-bodied and bold, layers of vanilla bean, spiced toffee, and baked apple. The high proof delivers warmth without overwhelming the nuanced flavors, balancing sweetness with a peppery rye spice kick.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, clove, and leather. A touch of orange peel appear late.
