Rabbit Hole Dareringer
Pernod Ricard · Rabbit Hole Distillery, Louisville, KY
Rabbit Hole Dareringer is the flavor of migration itself. Kaveh Zamanian’s journey from Tehran to Louisville mirrors the bourbon’s own passage through Spanish PX sherry casks—each crossing adding layers that neither origin could produce alone.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Rich dried dark fruit—fig and raisin—layered over warm caramel and toffee, with undertones of dark chocolate and a whisper of PX sherry sweetness
Palate
Velvety and full-bodied. Raisin and dark cherry arrive first, followed by brown sugar, baking spices, and a round, almost port-like richness. The PX sherry finish adds a dried-fruit depth that a standard bourbon barrel could never deliver.
Finish
Long and gently warming, with lingering dried fruit, toasted oak, and a subtle almond nuttiness that echoes the sherry’s influence.
- Mash Bill
- 68% Corn, 18% Wheat, 14% Malted Barley
Cocktail Suggestion
Cocktail — The Emigrant Old Fashioned: 2 oz Rabbit Hole Dareringer, 0.25 oz Pedro Ximénez sherry, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, 1 dash orange bitters. Stir over a large cube, garnish with a flamed orange peel.
Food Pairing
Pair with: A Spanish-inspired board of aged Manchego, marcona almonds, and dried Mission figs—each element mirroring the PX sherry cask’s contribution to the bourbon.
