Pinhook Collaboration Series No. 4 "Neal Bodenheimer" is a bold and high proof 6 year old straight rye intended for use in high-end cocktails, but as a sipper, that boldness might be too much.
For the fourth edition of Pinhook’s Collaboration Series, Pinhook partnered with Neal Bodenheimer. According to the company, “he’s a celebrated bartender, bar owner, and author. In 2009, he opened his first bar, Cure, in his native New Orleans, pioneering the city’s craft cocktail scene.” The goal with Pinhook Collaboration Series No. 4, was that Bodenheimer wanted a spirit that would “stand out on its own or in a classic New Orleans cocktail.” This release is also the first rye in the Collaboration Series, with No.1 and No. 2 being bourbons, and No.3 being an American single malt.
The aroma opens up unsuspectingly, with gentle scents of pear and apple, and an orange rind accent against toasted oak and pine. The palate goes heavy with baking spice upfront in the form of nutmeg and rye spice before being followed by rich butterscotch, and creamy crème brûlée. The finish doubles down on rye spice while adding in black pepper and earthy tobacco.
