Rabbit Hole Heigold Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

Don’t get me wrong; it’s not bad. I’d characterize it as pleasant and gentle, which is what some people are looking for in a bourbon. For someone who loves traditional bourbon, though, this is a little too fancy-pants. In 2019, Pernod Ricard acquired a majority stake in Rabbit Hole with the intent to utilize Pernod Ricard’s distribution network, but maintain Rabbit Hole’s downtown Louisville-based location. Rabbit Hole Heigold has a sweet flavor that is contrasted by the rye spice in terms of taste. It’s surprisingly sweet and gentle on the tongue, considering the alcohol content, but it’s also a little thin compared to some other bourbon around this price range. However, the combination of flavors is surprisingly full and complex despite the three years it spends aging in a barrel. Palate: Gentle and not too complicated. Citrus notes here again, as on the nose. Velvety mouthfeel, which brings toffee and vanilla-bean ice cream to mind. The finish is relatively short; this is a whiskey that doesn’t linger.

The process of creating Rabbit Hole begins by selecting one of the five different recipes Zamanian devised. He is also working on a handful of finishing projects and experiments in rye and single malt. BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: Try this at a bar before you invest in a bottle. It's a good first effort from the brand but not quite where it needs to be to get a space in my collection at home.Other sugars are also naturally present within the malted grain in the form of sucrose and fructose. These sugars aren't created by malting but are part of the grain itself. These sugars are fermentable and can add a nice twist and complexity to the finished whiskey. Lastly, but by no means least, Rabbit Hole Dareringer is a bourbon whiskey that is finished in Sherry cask. It epitomizes Heather, the wife of Zamanian. This spirit is 93 proof and consists of 68% corn, 18% wheat, and 14% malted barley. Currently, Rabbit Hole Heigold only spends around three years in the barrel. Despite this, it has a surprisingly complex array of flavors that makes it worth the price tag. However, this can change considerably once the bottling switches to their new Louisville location instead of their contract distillery. Rabbit Hole also makes bespoke gin at 89 proof that is finished in rye barrels. How to drink Rabbit Hole Bourbon?

In the mouth: An initial reprise of the nose’s fruity richness is a good start. This transforms into a nutty note that, combined with a slightly bitter edge, gives the impression of almonds as this moves toward the middle of the mouth. There, the fruity notes return in a less ripe, more acidic form, paired with a surprising note of cigarette ash. This momentarily evolves the round and unctuous mouthfeel of Sauternes, before taking mineralic turn into and through the finish, where the bourbon’s flavors recede in favor of a drying stoniness married to a tannic astringency. Conclusions: In this year of our Lord, 2023, is there any corner of the whiskey-verse that is untouched by hype and hyperbole? Is there terra incognita on the map, an undiscovered blank space awaiting an intrepid explorer? Is there an obscure rabbit hole down which Alice could tumble, revealing a fantastical dreamworld? In their desire to keep things local, Rabbit Hole “enlisted the help of fourth-generation craftsman at Vendome Copper & Brass Works to build a 24-inch column still and other distillation equipment.”He said: “Our expansion to the UK marks a pivotal moment for Rabbit Hole because I have long believed that American whiskey deserves to be on the global stage among the finest spirits in the world. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. So that clears it up for me, finally! All I had to do was sit down for a minute and take a look at it. Some cool things come to light, now. Some cool things But for now we’re looking at this bourbon review. A bourbon with corn and three types of malt. Malt that makes up an astonishing 30% of the total mash. Not something you drink every day, but I’m excited to do so now. Rabbit Hole Bourbon is interesting because it uses three different malts and no rye at all in this flagship bourbon. A bold and interesting move in a young distillery. I like the way they approached this which makes me wonder even more about the decision they made with their Rabbit Hole Rye Whiskey.

Malting, in terms of " triple malt bourbon" is the method of germinating or sprouting grain to a certain level and then stopping the germination process before adding it to the mash bill. The germination process is performed under strict tolerances with meticulous methods to ensure it is stopped at precisely the same point each time. After the grain has reached the correct sprouting point, it is dried carefully with great attention to detail. It must be precisely done because any deviation can impact the flavor profile.
