Architecture is defined as the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.  Using those same principles, we wanted to build new and distinct flavor profiles the same way an Architect creates new innovative structures.   

 Working in collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux of France, the market leader in oak barrel manufacturing and innovation, we use French oak staves and their state-of-the-art OakScan process to build a truly precise flavor profile within every bottle.   After all, the best architecture leaves no room for error.

Lovingly handcrafted and aged in Kentucky, Pinhook Bourbon was established in 2014 and has produced several small batch bottlings in their newly restored Castle & Key distillery in Frankfort, KY, to much critical acclaim. What makes their line unique is the brand's three distinctive characteristics: its limited availability, mass appeal and strong ties to Kentucky's legacy of horse racing. Each release of Pinhook Bourbon is named after a thoroughbred owned by Bourbon Lane Stable. The label also features the horses racing records on their brand's website. This first Cask Strength Pinhook release was bottled at 115.3 proof and has a deep and bright nose of Creme Brle, orange zest, and toasted coconut, which sets the stage for a rich and harmonious palate of pralines, brioche, cocoa, and candied cinnamon. Pinhook Bourbon Country Cask Strength won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

A POWERHOUSE WINE THAT RIVALS ANY ROSÉ FROM PROVENCE

Rock Angel has a more complex and structured taste profile than Whispering Angel bringing it into a more premium realm, giving rosé lovers a bigger and richer wine. If you like the minerality of a Sancerre, you will love this wine. The slogan "It all began with a hushed murmur, and now it's time to embrace the rock" marks the introduction of Rock Angel. This rosé undergoes partial fermentation and aging in large oak barrels, resulting in a flavor profile that's more intricate and well-defined compared to Whispering Angel. This elevates it to a higher-tier, offering rosé enthusiasts a more substantial and opulent wine, perfect for savoring as an aperitif or pairing with a diverse array of gourmet dishes. If you appreciate the mineral notes found in a Sancerre, you'll undoubtedly find delight in this wine.

TASTING NOTES

AROMA: Delicate red berry aromas with mineral notes, along with floral hints and a subtle spice.

PALATE: Rock Angel is rich and racy on the palate. The use of partial oak aging adds a creamy feel and texture to this wine, and the flinty minerality embues it with another layer of complexity.

FINISH: Powerful and elegant. Firm acidity with a long and silky finish.

BUILDING ON MY PREDILECTION (and my fame) for accenting bourbon cocktails with orange peels set aflame, I have crafted a bourbon like no other: smooth, 4 years old, bottled in Kentucky and kissed with the sweet, smoky, caramelized grace of burnt orange rind.

So, making my CELEBRATED COCKTAIL is A SNAP.

JUST ADD a touch of sugar and Angostura Bitters.

True Blue 100 is made from the same select barrels of our blue corn whisky that have always gone into our True Blue Cask Strength, diluted down to 100 proof. As such, many Bourbon drinkers, in particular, may gravitate to this powerfully subtle dram.  Since the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, ‘100 proof’ has long stood for quality and authenticity. True Blue 100 carries on that tradition. 100% of the whisky in this bottle was born, raised, and bottled at Balcones–from mash to glass. More approachable than full cask-strength whisky, True Blue 100 retains the depth and complexity of over-proof spirits with the softer edges, supple textures and fuller fruitiness that slight dilution can bring. Rich notes of honeyed citrus, stone fruit and cinnamon and a rich, roasted corn palate. Perfect “as is” or with as much water as you prefer.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: ripe apricots & mango with cinnamon, singed sugar on top of cocoa and dried chillies

TASTE: deep oak and char, black tea and salty baking chocolate, old leather, roasted corn and coffee

FINISH: lingering dried cherries & blackberries followed by toasty bitter chocolate with pleasant oak tannins

Whether enjoyed straight from the bottle or poured over ice with a twist of citrus, this Manhattan promises a luxurious and timeless drinking experience. Perfect for sharing at gatherings or savoring solo, it captures the essence of cocktail culture in a beautifully crafted blend.

You can't fake 12 years of rest… Rare distillation and barrel aging practices, coupled with over a decade's rest, have produced an American Whiskey with notes of maple, vanilla, ripe apple, and a long smooth finish. The whiskey is aged 12 years and made with a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% barley. The spirit was distilled to 189 proof, barreled at 140 proof, then bottled at 92 proof from second fill barrels.
