Pinhook Vertical Series 'Bourbon War' 8 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 2023｜ Other Products

The 8 Year is the vintage Breaking Bourbon called the best in Pinhook's Bourbon War Vertical Series to date — the 2023 chapter of a thirteen-year experiment, at 114.6 proof. Sean Josephs, a sommelier who ran Char No. 4 and Maysville in New York, founded Pinhook in 2010 — a pinhooker buys young horses and sells them trained — and the Vertical Series follows 1,350 MGP barrels selected in 2015 and released one year at a time from four years old to sixteen, each vintage bottled at whatever proof shows it best; the same lot of Indiana-distilled straight bourbon sits in Kentucky and gets pulled from annually, so a full run is the only way to taste one whiskey growing up. The 8 Year is the fifth release, bottled at 114.6 proof. Breaking Bourbon: cinnamon stick, buckwheat waffle, and light oak on the nose; rye spice, slightly dry oak, and brown sugar on the palate; and a long finish of cinnamon, dry oak, and leather, balancing dry and spicy — 3.5 out of 5, the best of the series so far. Honest note: eight years is where MGP high-rye bourbon hits its stride, and this is the vintage the reviewers point to — for the collector building the vertical and the drinker who wants the best single bottle from it.
