  • Rabbit Hole Bespoke Gin

    Barrel-Aged Gin — Kentucky, USA

    Reviewed February 20, 2023

    5.0 out of 5 stars
    I’m not a gin guy, but Alex at Rabbit Hole’s Overlook bar recommended I add this to my bourbon and rye flight, and I’m glad I did. It’s amazing. There’s a strong note of lemon or lime, and the juniper is thankfully subdued. The barrel-aging makes it smooth and sweet, resulting in a strong key lime pie aroma and flavor. It would be a shame to use it in a cocktail since it’s so delicious neat.

    I bought this at a Duty Free shop at Heathrow in late 2017 after tasting a sample and really liking the aroma and flavor. It’s an unusual whisky, I think, but in a good way.

    I bought this at a Duty Free shop at Heathrow in late 2017 after tasting a sample and liking it. I’m primarily a bourbon and rye drinker, and don’t find this whisky as pleasant as I once did. It’s okay, but I wouldn’t buy another bottle.

    Very nice aroma and flavor. Rich and sweet, with strong elements of oak and vanilla. There are no negatives, other than the price. My bottle was a gift.

    Hint of ripe banana in the nose. Sweet on the palette, with brown sugar, baking spices, and rye. Finishes a bit drier. Can’t help but be reminded of Bananas Foster dessert.

    Easily the best moonshine I’ve ever tasted. The aroma and flavor are just perfect. JB Rader worked with the legendary Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, and he knows what’s he’s doing. I got to try it coming right off the still at 118 proof, and it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.

    Disappointing. I expected much more given the price of a bottle. Well, I’ve been on a bourbon kick for a while now, and for me this scotch just doesn’t compare. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    This moonshine (white, unaged whiskey) is made using the still in The Underground speakeasy at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas. It’s made with 100% corn and is 100 proof. There’s buttered popcorn in the nose and corn on the palette, with a little numbing menthol appearing in the finish.

    Now that’s unusual. Strong aroma of cocoa powder with a hint of…ashes? Thick, creamy mouthfeel, with rich flavors of chocolate and oak on the palette. A bit of smoke, almost like bacon, appears on the long finish. Aroma of cedar wood in the empty glass. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    BAND-AIDS in the nose, somewhat sweet on the palate, with BAND-AIDS and then strong iodine showing up in the fairly long finish. It’s good when you feel like a peated scotch. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).
