The Best, Not The Same, Whiskey Every Year

We could have followed the standard approach to making bourbon, replicating the same flavor profile year after year. Instead, we blend our bourbon in annual vintages that highlight the most exceptional flavors we discover in that year’s barrels, making each release as unique and distinctive as the promising racehorse on its label.

Straight Bourbon

We use our pioneering vintage approach and a custom mash bill to craft a superb everyday bourbon. Each bottle of our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey makes for a bold, smooth sipper at a proof that stands up to dilution in cocktails or when poured over ice. Bottled unfiltered.

Our Thoroughbreds

Pinhook is a term for finding young thoroughbreds with champion potential and nurturing them to maturity, much like we do with our barrels. To honor this parallel with whiskey-making, each Pinhook vintage celebrates a promising racehorse just starting its racing career.

After a full maturation in a first-fill bourbon barrel, we decided to re-rack this single malt into a fresh first-fill bourbon cask for 6 months. This unique technique has added incredible richness and depth to the whisky. There is an invasion of vanilla bean, grapefruit, and sweet oak, with notes of dark chocolate, honeysuckle and coconut lingering on the incredibly long finish.

Driven by our passion for whisky, and with no compromise, we craft our single malts from only the finest local ingredients, capturing the true spirit of New Zealand. Thank you for joining us on this journey of discovery.

After being matured for three years in an Oloroso Sherry cask, we have then finished the whisky in a barrel which we lent to our friends at Liberty Brewing, for the maturation of their fantastic Prohibition Port. The result is an incredibly smooth and rich single malt, with notes of cocoa and chocolate which combine beautifully with the rich sweetness of the Oloroso Sherry. We hope that you have as much fun with this as we have.

The Polisher was specially crafted to polish your palate. Enjoy while polishing your bike, or simply polish it off right! Anyway you slice it, we hope you enjoy The Polisher as much as we do we. Keep it fun, don’t polish and ride.
