Rabbit Hole Cavehill Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Rabbit Hole Cavehill is a four-grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that pays homage to Louisville's rich distilling heritage. Crafted with a unique mash bill of 70% corn, 10% malted wheat, 10% honey malted barley, and 10% malted barley, this bourbon is aged for over three years in hand-selected, toasted, and charred new American oak barrels from Kelvin Cooperage. The innovative use of honey malted barley and a meticulous aging process result in a bourbon with a complex and inviting flavor profile. 

Nose: The bouquet is both inviting and complex, starting with aromas of warm baking spices and fresh honeycomb. Notes of ripe green apples and sweet pear are complemented by hints of toasted oak and a whisper of caramelized sugar. As the whiskey opens, subtle floral tones and a touch of citrus zest emerge, adding brightness to the nose.

Palate: On the palate, this bourbon delivers a velvety, creamy texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of orange peel and clover honey take center stage, seamlessly interwoven with refreshing mint and delicate toasted grains. The presence of honey malted barley introduces a gentle sweetness reminiscent of butterscotch and toasted marshmallows, balanced by a layer of warm oak spice and soft tannins.

Finish: The finish evolves gracefully, starting with lingering notes of vanilla custard and crème brûlée. As it fades, a light touch of toasted oak and a wisp of nutmeg and cinnamon leave a lasting impression of sophistication and balance. This finish is both satisfying and refined, making every sip memorable.

Rabbit Hole Cavehill pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats such as ribeye steak or roasted pork tenderloin, where its oak and spice complement the smokiness of the dish. For dessert, it shines alongside pecan pie, crème brûlée, or honey-drizzled ricotta cheesecake, enhancing the sweet and creamy flavors. Its bright, honeyed profile also complements artisanal cheeses like aged gouda or triple cream brie, making it a versatile choice for any meal.
