Pinhook Bourbon War 7 Year – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Pinhook Bourbon War 7 Year is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, signifying adherence to strict legal definitions. It is produced from a traditional bourbon mash bill, primarily corn, along with rye and malted barley, and distilled in Kentucky. The "Bourbon War" name is a playful nod to the competitive spirit within the bourbon industry. This particular expression has been aged for a full seven years in new, charred American oak barrels within Kentuckys fluctuating climate. The barrel aging process is crucial, as the new make spirit interacts with the sugars and compounds released from the charred oak, developing its characteristic flavors of vanilla, caramel, toasted nuts, and baking spices. Pinhook is recognized for its commitment to bottling bourbons at proofs that best represent the whiskeys profile, and often without chill filtration, to preserve all the natural compounds that contribute to its body and flavor. The selection of barrels for this release focuses on achieving a harmonious balance of sweetness, spice, and oak influence that comes with this specific age statement.
