Kaveh Zamanian for time being, fell in love twice: with the girl called Heather, and with Bourbon. They pulled him down the rabbit hole of passion, beauty and elegance, so Kaveh settled down in Louisville, KY, and founded Rabbit Hole Distillery. Joining the exciting renaissance of Bourbon, Kaveh decided to carve his vision into the landscape of the quintessentially American booze, picking the best talent and gear on his way.
Behold he has created an opulent Straight Bourbon Whiskey that's taking awards left and right. Named simply Rabbit Hole Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is mature and no-rubbish Spirit with 95 proof and some spice to it. And the secret? Some of it is definitely the rare grain bill: 70% corn, 10% malted barley, 10% honey malted barley and 10% malted wheat.
What you get is an exceptionally sweet and rich Bourbon. The name comes from Louisville’s historic Cave Hill cemetery. “It’s the resting place of more distillers than anywhere else in the country, and it’s right down the street from my house,” Zamanian says. “I have a lot of reverence there. These are individuals that paved the way.” Our signature four-grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a homage to generations of proud Louisville distillers.
