Rabbit Hole Nevallier Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750 ml

Rabbit Hole Nevallier is the Louisville distillery's oldest release, a 16-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon from their Founder's Collection, matured 15 years in new charred oak before an additional year in new French oak barrels coopered by Tonnellerie Leroi. The mash bill runs 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, so it leans toward baking-spice complexity rather than pure sweetness. Expect dark caramel and dried fig on the nose, layered oak tannin and clove on the palate, and a long, dry finish that shows its age honestly. This is a special-occasion bourbon for someone who already knows Rabbit Hole's younger expressions and wants to see what 16 years in wood does to that house style.

How to drink Rabbit Hole Nevallier

Neat, in a Glencairn or tulip glass, is the only way to meet 16 years of oak on its own terms — ice will mute exactly what you paid for. Give it a few minutes to open before you judge the nose.
