Pinhook 11-Year Vertical Series Bourbon

Pinhook 11-Year Vertical Series Bourbon is the latest chapter in Pinhook's award-winning Vertical Series, a 114.4-proof straight bourbon blended from just 62 barrels and bottled to show exactly what eleven years in oak does to this whiskey.

Process & Profile

The Vertical Series follows a single group of about 1,350 MGP bourbon barrels as they age from four to sixteen years. Each year Pinhook selects a group of barrels from that lot, then blends and proofs them to find the most balanced expression of the whiskey at that age. The series began with the 4 Year release in 2019, and this 11 Year continues the journey toward the final 16 Year bottling.

Age: 11 years
Proof: 114.4 proof (57.2% ABV)
Mash bill: 75% corn, 20.5% rye, 4.5% malted barley
Barrels: 62
Size: 750mL

Nose: Burnt orange peel, molasses, white pepper and cedar.

Palate: A coating palate of ripe strawberry, crème brûlée, toasted almond and candied cinnamon.

Finish: Warm and lingering, with the cinnamon and toasted almond carrying through the high-proof heat.

What Makes It Special

Few bourbons let you taste the same barrels year after year. Because every Vertical Series release comes from the same lot of barrels, each bottle is a snapshot of one stage of aging, and collectors line them up side by side to taste how the whiskey changes. The previous release, the 10 Year, was nominated for Best in Class and won Double Gold at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

How to Serve

At 114.4 proof, try it neat first, then add a few drops of water to open up the fruit and dessert notes. It also makes a bold Old Fashioned or Manhattan. For a memorable tasting, pour it next to an earlier Vertical Series release and compare how the barrels have changed with another year in oak.
