History:
Rabbit Hole Distillery is a relatively new player in the world of whiskey, founded in 2012 in Louisville, Kentucky, by Kaveh Zamanian. The distillery was born out of Zamanian's passion for whiskey and his desire to create something unique within the spirits industry. Zamanian, originally from Iran, immigrated to the United States and settled in Louisville. He was inspired by Kentucky's rich bourbon heritage and decided to start Rabbit Hole Distillery to craft his own distinct style of whiskey. One of Rabbit Hole's notable releases is their bourbon, which undergoes a unique maturation process in barrels made from wood sourced from France's Vosges region and finished with a toasted barrel technique, distinguishing it from traditional Kentucky bourbons.

Aged in Spanish casks. Partners with the Cabello family in Spain.
The Dareringer Double Barrel PX Sherry Cask is a bourbon that undergoes a special aging process, starting with its maturation in new charred American oak barrels, which is a standard practice for bourbon. What sets it apart is its secondary aging in Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry casks. PX Sherry is a sweet, dark, and rich style of Sherry known for its luscious, raisin-like flavors.
This secondary aging process in PX Sherry casks adds a layer of complexity and imparts unique flavors to the bourbon. The interaction between the bourbon and the Sherry-soaked wood influences the whiskey, infusing it with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, caramel, and a rich sweetness, along with the classic bourbon characteristics like vanilla, oak, and spice.
The term "Double Barrel" refers to the fact that the whiskey undergoes aging in two different types of barrels, contributing to the depth and complexity of the final product.
Nose: Sherry, caramel, cherry
Taste: Raisins, currants, cherries, almond, vanilla
