Blended from just 28 barrels, this 7-year-old rye is the most limited release in the Vertical Series to date. A lively nose of caramel, orange zest, cedar, and clove move to a powerful palate of chocolate, root beer, cardamom, and tobacco.
The Vertical Series explores the true impact of age on a whiskey’s character by following a single group of MGP barrels as they mature from four to 12 years. With each vintage, the proof is set to best showcase the unique attributes of that year’s blend. This unprecedented series of annual limited releases lets whiskey lovers experience the arc of flavors throughout a nine-year journey.

Pinhook celebrates the parallels between horse racing and whiskey, with each bottle inspired by classic jockey silk designs and dedicated to a promising young thoroughbred. For its labels every year, Pinhook selects two up-and-coming thoroughbreds with our partners at Bourbon Lane Stable, one with a bourbon-inspired name and one with a rye-inspired name.

Our 7 year release of Vertical Series Rye is paired with Tiz Rye Time, son of Tiznowout and Shanon Nicole, by Majestic Warrior.
Bourbon Lane purchased him from his breeder, Sierra Farm, for $200,000 at the Fasig Tipton October sale. He was a farm favorite and his dam has since been bred to the leading sire Into Mischief, Quality Road and Uncle Mo, some of the those who standing in KY. He was well balanced, athletic and just had that look about him of class. He broke his maiden in his second start and has earned KY Derby points but unfortunately was sidelined with an injury. Bourbon Lane is hopeful that he will resume training in the coming months and reach his potential late in 2020 and 2021.
