Rabbit Hole Distillery's Raceking is a limited-edition, six-year-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV). It features an innovative five-grain mash bill—70% corn, 13% rye, 10% malted barley, 4% chocolate-malted wheat, and 3% chocolate-malted barley—aged in handmade toasted and charred American oak casks from Kelvin Cooperage. This deliberate craftsmanship yields remarkable depth, balance, and a bold chocolate-forward profile inspired by Kentucky's horse racing heritage.
Rich aromas of toffee and toasted almonds mingle with subtle brown sugar, sherry notes, caramel, cherry, and hints of cocoa.
Layers of roasted espresso beans, cocoa, and caramel unfold with gentle clove, cardamom, raisins, currants, cherries, and almond for a sophisticated, controlled indulgence.
Long and complex, with tobacco, leather, lingering dark chocolate, and a light touch of dryness that prevents cloying sweetness.
Raceking stands out with its pioneering use of chocolate-malted wheat and barley, pushing bourbon boundaries while honoring tradition through scientific precision and culinary artistry. This evolution of the 2020 original delivers enhanced complexity at an accessible $95 MSRP, making it a thoroughbred among limited releases. Founder Kaveh Zamanian's vision crafts a distinct, non-dessert-like chocolate influence that's bold yet balanced.
Sip Raceking neat or with a splash of water to unlock its layered depths, ideal for savoring during Kentucky Derby season or quiet evenings. Pair it with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or grilled meats to amplify its cocoa and spice notes. Serve in a Glencairn glass at room temperature for an optimal, immersive experience.
