Rabbit Tale Dareringer Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Experience an exquisite fusion of American whiskey tradition and Spanish winemaking art with Rabbit Tale Dareringer Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks. Crafted at the state-of-the-art Rabbit Hole Distillery in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, this award-winning, super-premium bourbon redefines modern whiskey crafting. Spearheaded by founder Kaveh Zamanian, Rabbit Hole’s Signature Series showcases an uncompromised commitment to unique mash bills, custom barrel specifications, and luxurious cask finishing.

At the core of Dareringer is a distinctive, high-wheat grain recipe featuring 68% corn, 28% malted wheat, and 4% malted barley. First matured in hand-selected, toasted and charred Casknolia American white oak barrels (Char No. 3), the straight bourbon absorbs rich oak vanillin, caramel sweetness, and soft grain character. The mature spirit is then transferred into hand-selected Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks—crafted from the finest Andalusian oak in Spain—for a vital secondary maturation. Bottled at an ideal 93 Proof (46.5% ABV), this extra-matured bourbon delivers an exceptionally smooth, velvety texture bursting with decadent dark fruit and sweet baking spice complexity.

Artfully Crafted Sherry Cask Finishing

The PX Sherry Influence: Known as the "King of Sherries," Pedro Ximénez wood infuses the wheated bourbon foundation with intense, sun-dried grape sweetness, sticky raisins, and dark cocoa. The result is a harmoniously balanced, highly sophisticated Kentucky bourbon that appeals to bourbon collectors, sherry-cask whisky enthusiasts, and luxury spirit gift-buyers alike.
