Rabbit Hole Cavehill Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky , USA

Reviewed January 3, 2020 (edited January 9, 2022)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
"Originally posted on Barreled 8/10/18 Bought this bottle back in May but just now getting to reviewing it. Rabbit hole is a relatively new distillery in Louisville, KY. This bourbon is a somewhat unique mashbill of 70% corn, 10% malted wheat, 10% honey malted barley, and 10% malted barley. The honey malted barley is primarily used in beer brewing. It’s bottled at a respectable 47.5% ABV and has to decent legs when swirled in a Glencairn. On the nose this bourbon is all buttery brown sugar, caramel, cinnamon and some dark tones of tobacco and leather. No alcohol burn at all, the nose is like sticking your nose in a warm cinnamon roll. Just beautiful. The palate is more of the same with some added pepper and baking spices. It’s a little drier than the nose suggests which is welcome; it’s sweet enough as it is. The finish is medium, warm, dry, with pepper and baking spices. There’s a new note that I can’t quite place: kind of green and bright in contrast to the rest of the dark, sweet, spicy notes. Green bananas maybe? It appears well after swallowing and hangs around quite a while. Not unpleasant, just very different. Overall this is a very good bourbon, very sippable neat. This was good enough I never bothered trying it in any cocktails; seems like it would be a waste. I think this was about $60 locally, a pretty decent value. 4/5. Cheers!"

    I had originally posted this review here as Rabbit Hole’s “Heigold” bourbon. I didn’t realize that they had introduced a second bourbon mashbill. Will have to check it out soon to complete my Rabbit Hole experience! Review of the PX cask coming soon!
