Every year, Pinhook releases a new batch each of bourbon & rye; the whiskey in any given release intended to be the best expression of Pinhooks barrels at that particular moment in time. Blends and proofs change batch to batch to best highlight that releases unique attributes and can be thought of, quite appropriately, as a whiskey vintage.

The newly restored Castle & Key Distillery, in Frankfort, KY, plays home to Pinhooks operations. Built in the late 1800s, Castle & Key was the original residence for Old Colonel Taylor. Beginning in Spring of 2020, Pinhooks proprietary mash billcrafted and distilled by Castle & Keywill make its way to bottle and become available for sale.
