A lighter shade of orange, kinds of reminds one of a marmalade. In the glass found some legs. A pale yellow, reminding one of a heavily steeped green tea. I suppose that sounds weird, but it fits. In the glass, found this one to have multiple, long legs. Light orange. It looked to be on the younger side. In the glass, there were closely knit legs.
A hit of citrus mixed with brown sugar. I gave it a rest and found a touch of honeydew in the background. I found this one to be a tad bit flat. Definitely sweeter on the nose with notes of melon and honey, but nothing else. Some heat, but not overly intense. Definitely nutty, and I might say toasted pecan. And theres something else there, I believe a smidge of Earl Grey tea.
This was lighter bodied than expected. Definitely on the side of orchard fruits mingled with a hint of cocoa. When I thought about it, reminded me more of a Scotch style whiskey found more so in the United States. Final Thoughts: Ill admit that this was a bit of a head scratcher. It is a bourbon, but in many ways, did not reflect as such. This is one that I would prefer to re-visit when its a tad bit older. Score: 3/5 Tasting Notes: Pinhook Ryed On Vital Stats: 97 proof, 48.5% ABV. Aged more than two years. Mash bill is 20% corn, 60% rye, and 20% malted barley. Crop 20. ~ $44 per 750ml bottle. Appearance: A pale yellow, reminding one of a heavily steeped green tea. I suppose that sounds weird, but it fits. In the glass, found this one to have multiple, long legs. Nose: I found this one to be a tad bit flat. Definitely sweeter on the nose with notes of melon and honey, but nothing else. Palate: Better than the nose. A lighter body, but full flavor. If one can imagine, green apple slices sprinkled with white pepper. Not much of a finish, just a kiss of nuttiness. Final Thoughts: Found this rye to be pretty straight forward and simple. I enjoyed the intermingling of the fruit and spice notes. However, at the end of the day, found myself yearning for a bit more character from the whiskey. Score: 3/5 Tasting Notes: Pinhook Bohemian High Proof Bourbon Vital Stats: This one is the high proof expression of their whiskeys at 114.5 proof and 57.25% ABV. Mash bill is 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley. Crop 20. ~ $53 per 750ml bottle. Appearance: Light orange. It looked to be on the younger side. In the glass, there were closely knit legs. Nose: Some heat, but not overly intense. Definitely nutty, and I might say toasted pecan. And theres something else there, I believe a smidge of Earl Grey tea. Palate: Tastes like it smells, with the addition of some citrus. A solid pecan presence intermingled with candied orange zest, and peppery moments. In regards to body, it was kind of in the middle with a longer finish. However, all in all, this was a simple, but solid whiskey. Final Thoughts: This was by far, the best of the bunch. It had more flavor due to the higher proof and more balance of flavors. Score: 3.5/5
