A Stonecutter's Name on a High-Rye Bourbon
Heigold honours Christian Heigold, a German immigrant stonecutter who settled in Louisville in the 1840s and carved patriotic symbols, heroes and family likenesses into the facade of his Louisville home, now a local landmark. Rabbit Hole answers that German heritage in the glass: a bourbon built on imported German malted rye, giving the classic corn sweetness a firm spice backbone.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: toasted malt and warm baking spices on the nose; silky butterscotch and bright citrus on the palate; a pepper-spice crescendo on the finish.
How to Enjoy
