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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114.4 proof (57.2% ABV)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75% corn, 20.5% rye, 4.5% malted barley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarrels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt orange peel, molasses, white pepper and cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A coating palate of ripe strawberry, crème brûlée, toasted almond and candied cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and lingering, with the cinnamon and toasted almond carrying through the high-proof heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Pinhook Vertical Series?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA multi-year project following about 1,350 MGP bourbon barrels from age four to sixteen, with one release per age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow old is this bourbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e114.4 proof, or 57.2% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e75% corn, 20.5% rye and 4.5% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many barrels went into this release?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 11 Year was blended from 62 barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinhook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68093745365240,"sku":"19354","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/pinhook-11-year-vertical-series-bourbon-bc.png?v=1794588986","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/pinhook-11-year-vertical-series-bourbon","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
