Will Horses Help Sell a Bottle? with Sean Josephs of Pinhook
The platform of this podcast was to help connect listeners to the brands they see on the store shelves. As time has gone on, sometimes we discover there really isn't much substance to a brand. But today's guest is the very opposite. I found myself enthralled with our guests history in the culinary world and what he's doing to make his whiskey be one that many can appreciate from the liquid to the blending. Sean Josephs is the Co-Founder & Master Blender behind Pinhook. You know all those bottles with race horses on the label and different colored wax. Sean talks about getting his start in restaurants, grinding it out, and eventually working at some of the world's premier establishments and becoming such a decorated wine sommelier that he would be considered famous by those standards. Consider me a bit star struck by the time this episode is over. Then he finds a new passion in bourbon and opens up one of the first ever whiskey bars in Brooklyn and eventually left to start Pinkhook bourbon. Sean's passion comes through and we learn the secret decoder ring to knowing more about all his Pinhook bottles and what's in store for the future.
Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about adding water to high proof whiskey.

Customer Reviews
No more re runs please
Love the channel and the guys. I just wish you didn’t play behind the pursuit on bourbon pursuit. … it’s just comes off as a re run for those of us subscribed to behind the pursuit…. Personally I think behind the pursuit should just be a bonus episode on the main pod channel if anything it adds to content to followers you already have as opposed to try to get your already followers to also follow another channel.
Incredibly informative podcast
These guys consistently deliver not just the latest news in the whiskey industry, but also thoughts and opinions from some big names in the review and writing community. Such a great mix of lighthearted, casual conversation with serious news and opinions.
I really like the podcast, But……
Y’all focus way too much on bottle hunting and rare releases. I do like that y’all talk to different master distillers, but most of the master distillers you talk to are from the big companies. That’s all well and good. But there are so many other distilleries in Kentucky and elsewhere, you should open the bourbon trail book and see which ones y’all haven’t talked to. I’ve learned a lot from this podcast but I hope y’all don’t forget about the little guys. I’m from Pennsylvania and deliver liquor and wine and I see lots of brands and y’all cover a sliver of distilleries. I hope to hear more about these other distilleries and their stories. Keep up with the pursuit.
