Kentucky-Based Craft Distillery Unveils Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey in New Limited Release
Louisville, KY – October 24, 2024 – Rabbit Hole Distillery is excited to release the Boxergrail Founder’s Collection. It is an 8-year-old, cask strength Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. This limited edition continues Rabbit Hole’s award-winning journey in rye whiskey, following the legacy of the 6-year Boxergrail. With only 1,200 bottles available, this exclusive offering is expected to appeal to whiskey enthusiasts. It is also expected to attract collectors. This showcases Rabbit Hole’s reputation as a leading name in Kentucky’s whiskey craft.
What Sets the 8-Year Boxergrail Founder’s Collection Apart
Rabbit Hole founder Kaveh Zamanian crafted this limited-edition 8-year rye whiskey. He is a Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame whiskey maker. The whiskey is aged in wood-fired, toasted and charred new American oak barrels. Bottled at cask strength, it offers a refined profile that builds on Rabbit Hole’s earlier expressions with greater depth, complexity, and character.
“This special 8-year expression honors the original Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. By allowing it to mature longer, we’ve created a bold, complex flavor that embodies the strength and creativity of our brand, paying homage to Louisville’s proud boxing heritage,” Zamanian shared.
Rabbit Hole’s Boxergrail Founder’s Collection 8-Year Rye Whiskey stands out with an auburn hue. It has a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. This promises a rich and unique tasting experience. This rye whiskey reveals aromatic layers of mint, cinnamon, anise, and brown sugar. It is followed by notes of ginger, tobacco, and blood orange. The finish is dramatic and long-lasting with allspice, herbs, and oak undertones.
