Pinhook 10 Year Vertical Series Straight Bourbon 2026 Release 750mL

Pinhook Vertical Series Rye 10 Year (2026 Release)

Straight Rye Whiskey | 53% ABV (106 Proof) | 750 mL | “Tiz Rye Time—10 Year” | Aged 10 Years | Blended from 25 Barrels

Process & Profile

The 106 proof Pinhook 10 Year release is the 2026 Vertical Series Rye 10 Year (not the Bourbon Vertical Series 10 Year). This edition—often shown as “Tiz Rye Time—10 Year”—is blended from just 25 barrels, making it one of the most limited releases in the rye vertical series to date.

In the glass, it leans rich and dessert-leaning for a rye: layered dried fruit and confectionary sweetness up front, then peppery rye spice and herbal notes that keep the finish structured. Bottled unfiltered at 106 proof, it has a fuller mouthfeel and a longer finish than lower-proof rye, while still staying balanced and sip-friendly.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dried fig, white chocolate, molasses cookie, black pepper

• Palate: Dates, roasted almond frangipane, burnt honey, juniper

• Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice, dark sweetness, and herbal lift

What Makes It Special

• The 2026 release in the Vertical Series Rye program

• Bottled at 106 proof for richer texture and stronger flavor presence

• Blended from 25 barrels, making it extremely limited

• Unfiltered style that keeps the whiskey’s weight and character intact

• A standout rye for customers who like sweet depth plus structured spice

How to Enjoy

Start neat to catch the dried-fruit and honeyed depth, then add a few drops of water to open the nose and soften the peppery edges. A single large cube will slowly bring forward more sweet notes while rounding the spice. This also shines in rye-forward cocktails where the whiskey needs to stay in control—an Old Fashioned works great with a lighter touch of sweetener.
