Kentucky is synonymous with two things: bourbon and horse racing. Fittingly, then, one of the newest players on the bourbon scene is called Pinhook Bourbon, the brainchild of Sean Josephs, proprietor of the late lamented Char #4 here in Brooklyn. For the uninitiated and curious: pinhooking is an old Southern term for the shrewd purchase of very young thoroughbreds. The best pinhookers are brilliant speculators, with powerful gut instincts honed by experience and a deep knowledge of lineage. In a first for the brand, this expression is the only one so far to be named after a filly. Each year, Pinhook releases a bourbon and a rye, each under three different labels – straight, high proof, and single barrel – and names them after promising young racing thoroughbreds. The 2020 Bourbon releases is named Bohemian Bourbon, after a bay filly measuring 13.5 hands. The bourbon itself has a bright nose of tangerine, preserved lemon and brioche, which leads to a deep and lush palate of dried papaya, toffee, cocoa, and almonds.
