A High Proof Rye for a cheerful sip.

In 2010, a merry band of booze wizards led by the barman and sommelier Sean Josephs waved their wands and conjured up Pinhook Whiskey. The name is a nod to the art of 'pinhooking'—raising young racehorses with care and skill before setting them loose on the track. Pinhook Whiskey takes the same approach, believing it needs time, attention, and plenty of TLC to reach its full potential, like premium Whiskey. The result? A Whiskey that's as unique as a fine wine vintage, capturing a snapshot of different flavors every year.

Pinhook's High Proof Rye Munny is another wonderful example of how stronger can sometimes be better. In this case, Goliath won and slammed poor ol' Dave on the floor, as High Proof Rye Munny's proof stands at a whopping 58.2%, able to knock out any human or horse into feelings of extreme cheerfulness. With a mash proof of 60% Rye, 20% Corn, and 20% Malted Barley, it will surely bring the best of Kentucky flavors to your glass. It brings soft and fragrant aromas of orange blossom, honeysuckle, green apple and baking spice to the nose and offers strong hints of walnuts, dates and spiced caramel to the palate. This High Proof Rye is also devoted to Rye Munny—a thoroughbred with more admirers than there are fans of Micheal Jackson.
