Production Process

Hook Head 1.1 is meticulously matured for three years and eight months in a selection of casks, including first-fill bourbon barrels, virgin American oak, and French oak. This diverse maturation process imparts a complex character, enhanced by the subtle influence of the coastal terroir, which adds a hint of salt and brininess to the profile.
