Outstanding!
So good in fact, we took the whole barrel!
Pinhook's Single Barrel #1670 is an EWM Exclusive with a yield of only 221 bottles.
This limited release is about as rare as it gets!
Among a handful of barrels, #1670 was cherry-picked from the 3rd floor, rick 15, 3rd tier and position #2 from the aisle. With its signature flavor profile, there is no other barrel like it!
Why did we fall in love with #1670?
Pinhook whiskeys are known for their signature smooth finish - both ryes and bourbons. But, this bourbon is in a league of its own.
Fresh fruit flavors upfront are followed by exotic layers of spice. Red stewed fruit, baked apricot, spicy white pepper, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and roasted walnut to start. Secondary notes of dried clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, pear, brown butter and fresh peppercorn on the long, lasting finish.
Each bottle is hand-numbered. The nomenclature "15F26" on the label refers to the fill date: June 26, 2015 (15 = 2015; F = June; 26 = Day 26)
Bottled at "cask strength," Bourbon Country #1670 has a mash bill of 75% corn; 20.5% rye and 4.5% malted barley.
Rare and exclusive, there is no other bourbon like it... literally!
