This straight bourbon whiskey is bottled at 95.5 proof and has a vibrant burst of ripe pear and baked apricot up front which seamlessly gives way to toffee, dates, and vanilla bean. A lingering and lifting finish of cinnamon , cedar , and peppercorn round out this complex, and exceptionally balanced expression. Every year, Pinhook releases a new bourbon and rye, each of which is connected to a promising young thoroughbred horse. The whiskey in each release is the best expression of our barrels at that moment in time, and we blend and proof each release to be as unique as the horse on the label Bourbon Country is the latest edition of straight bourbon whiskey produced by Pinhook. The traditional mashbill has over three years of barrel age and was blended and proofed by Sean Josephs at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, KY.
