Rabbit Hole Heigold High Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Rabbit Hole Heigold is a high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon made with a high percentage of imported German rye — strong and bold, with a foundation of vanilla and wood from the barrel and an unorthodox four-grain mash promising spice, honey, and a fresh apple lift.

Heigold pays tribute to Christian Heigold, a German stonecutter who settled in Louisville and carved symbols of American patriotism into his home — an immigrant maker honored by an immigrant grain. The use of a high proportion of imported German rye sets the expression apart, building on the barrel's vanilla-and-wood base with the spice, honey, and bright apple character of the four-grain mash.

It is well suited to sipping neat or over a large cube, and elevates a high-rye Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
