Pinhook Bourbon's Collaboration Series #2 Launch
After a successful first collaboration between Pinhook and André Hueston Mack, the founder and award-winning winemaker of Maison Noir Wines, the team decided a second edition of the series was in order. For Collaboration Series #2, Sean Josephs, Pinhook’s Master Blender, teamed up with Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewing and a 2014 James Beard Award Winner. Oliver, with his 30 years of brewing expertise, brings an intriguing sensory perspective to Pinhook’s innovative approach: sourcing great barrels of whiskey and blending and proofing them into exceptional bourbons and ryes.
Distilled at Still Austin, located in Austin, TX, this high-proof, high-rye bourbon was aged for four years in the Texas heat. This results in a whiskey with maturity that far exceeds its years in the barrel. Tropical fruit, spice and chocolate on the nose gives way to deep gingerbread, caramel and dark cherry flavors on the palate, topped off with a surprising hint of licorice.
Powers Irish Rye Whiskey Launches
Powers Irish Rye Whiskey is the first Irish whiskey in the world made from 100% rye. It combines the trademark earthy, peppery character of rye with the sweet flavor profile imparted from maturation in a full repertoire of American oak barrels: virgin oak, first fill and refills. The 43.2% ABV spirit with a 100% rye mash bill is triple distilled and non-chill filtered.
Cenote Tequila Releases One-of-a-Kind Cenote Ahumado Tequila
Cenote Ahumado Tequila is an inspired small-batch tequila innovation that revives historic methods used by original tequileros of roasting agave pinas over a woodfire. The resulting Ahumado 100% Blue Weber Agave reposado combines the best tequila methods with a mezcal-inspired roasting method that presents a unique smokey flavor profile. Cenote Ahumado is rested in oak barrels for more than 2 months to develop additional character, mellows in flavor, and blooms into a beautiful, golden color. Aromas of hickory, smoke, clover, honey, and ginger, this spirit is mysterious and complex and highlights dark caramel, fire-roasted peppers, cinnamon, and toasted coconut on the palate.
The black bottle design visually emphasizes the smoke-forward rich agave flavor inside the bottle. Atop the bottle is pina, an homage to the heart of the agave plant, complete with a copper clasp which makes opening the bottle a special experience.

The result is a complex sipper with rich notes of chocolate and cherry with a hint of coffee. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite whiskey cocktail — and always with your outdoor adventure companions.
