Pinhook Rye Humor Cask Strength

Pinhook Rye Humor Cask Strength is a straight rye whiskey bottled at full barrel proof — deep, dense aromas of dark chocolate, candied black licorice, and vanilla extract set the stage for robust flavors of raisins, tobacco, cinnamon, and sarsaparilla.

Part of Pinhook’s annual cask strength program, Humor is bottled undiluted at barrel proof for maximum intensity and character. The result is a richly layered rye — dark chocolate and candied black licorice lead the nose, while the palate brings raisins, tobacco, cinnamon stick, and sarsaparilla in a bold, full-flavored expression.

At cask strength it rewards a few drops of water to open up, and is best enjoyed neat or in a robust rye cocktail.
