Rabbit Hole Heigold Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Burn, sweet, graham cracker, drank neat

Had at Danny Boy (Brendan gave me a strong pour!). Smells like apple juice haha. Taste is light, but not much depth.

So I’m trying this in a cigar bar so I can’t get a true nose on it. The tastes I get is like an earthy citrus spice. I enjoyed it and may buy a bottle for the house even though I typically go for higher proofs.

You smell the sweetness from the corn in the nose, maybe some candied orange, which isn’t surprising from the mash bill. Taste is citrus and caramel or butterscotch, and the rye comes in on the finish with pepper and spicy notes as well as leather and a little dark fruit. Drop of water and/or chilling it with a whiskey stone makes the flavor come through much better in my opinion, because when it’s at room temp the spicy finish can overpower the citrus and sweet flavors at the start. Think this stands up much better than the average rating it gets on this app and elsewhere.

Easy drinking, not as sweet bourbon, with earthy notes. One of my favorites.
