Rabbit Hole Heigold Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A marvellous high-rye bourbon here from the Rabbit Hole Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky! This expression has been dubbed Heigold, inspired by a German stonecutter from the 1800s who settled in Louisville. The whiskey itself is made from a mash bill of 70% corn, 25% malted German rye, and 5% malted barley. After distillation, it's matured in slowly toasted and charred barrels, and eventually bottled up at 47.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Warming cinnamon and caramel, with a hint of Jamaican Ginger Cake underneath.
Palate
Thick vanilla pods, dry oak, peppercorn and more cinnamon bringing spiciness.
Finish
A smidge of citrus appears through the toffee and toasted spices.
