Nestled on 113 acres of rolling hills in a castle that holds more than a century of distilling history, Castle & Key distills, ages, blends and bottles Pinhook under the direction of Pinhook Master Taster Sean Josephs.
Pin Hook began as a tiny settlement that served as a traveler's rest before the railroad town of Durham was established in the early 1850s. Pin Hookers were folks who bought tobacco leaf that went unsold at auction, repackaged the product, and sold it for a tiny profit.
A single barrel whiskey has come from just one barrel and has not been mixed with other barrels. Cask strength or barrel proof whiskeys can be mixed with other barrels from the same batch, so long as they are still at the same proof as the exit proof, but they can't be diluted.While ex-bourbon and sherry casks are the most popular casks used to mature single malt whiskies, there are several other casks that can be used, too. Less common casks, such as port casks and rum casks, can be used to finish whiskies.The Recipe - Bourbon is distilled from a fermented mash of grain, yeast and water. The “mash bill” must have a minimum of 51% corn. For most bourbons, the average is about 70%. Other grains such as rye, malted barley, and wheat are considered “flavor” grains.
The origins of the name bourbon are extremely uncertain. However, the most prominent contenders are Bourbon County in Kentucky and Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Both took their names from the House of Bourbon, a European royal house of French origin.
