Tasting Note:
Bright, spicy, and super drinkable, Pinhook Straight Rye brings a fresh, modern rye profile with real backbone. Expect pear and citrus peel up front, followed by honey, vanilla, and rye spice—think clove, black pepper, and a touch of toffee. Medium-bodied with a clean, energetic finish, it’s excellent neat, but especially shines in cocktails where you want the rye character to stay loud and clear.

About the Producer:
Pinhook is a Kentucky whiskey brand built around a wine-like “vintage” philosophy: instead of forcing the exact same profile every year, they blend each annual release to highlight what that year’s barrels do best. The Straight Rye is their everyday, do-it-all bottle—distilled at Castle & Key and bottled at a proof that holds up over ice or in classic cocktails, while still staying smooth enough to sip.
