The latest edition of Rabbit Hole Distillery’s Founder’s Collection finds the brand aging its six-year-old Boxergrail rye whiskey an additional two years
Rabbit Hole has unveiled the Boxergrail Founder’s Collection, an 8-year-old rye whiskey bottled at cask strength. The new release is the latest edition to the brand’s highly sought-after Founder’s Collection and builds on the legacy of its previous 6-year-old bottling.
For the new Rabbit Hole Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, distillery founder Kaveh Zamanian opted for an extended maturation of 8 years. Featuring a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley and aged in wood-fired, toasted and charred new American Oak barrels and bottled at cask strength, this version offers another level of complexity and excellence in both flavor and appearance. On the nose, it delivers aromas of mint, cinnamon, anise and brown sugar. The palate balances notes of ginger, tobacco and blood orange with a long, dramatic finish of allspice, herbs, tobacco and oak.
Named in honor of Louisville’s legacy of boxing champions, this whiskey highlights the craftsmanship and innovation Rabbit Hole’s Founder’s Collection is known for. Released bi-annually, each limited-edition, cask-strength offering looks to stand as a testament to the brand’s ethos: “No Shortcuts. No Compromise. Nothing Left To Chance.”
“For this latest Founder’s Collection release, our team set out to honor our core offering of Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey,” says Zamanian. “We aged it for 8 years and bottled it at cask strength to show how cask and whiskey come together at natural strength. The result is a bold expression that embodies strong character, showcasing innovation and creativity while honoring our city’s rich boxing heritage and fighting spirit. We’re especially proud of this special edition rye and look forward to sharing it with those who favor one-of-a-kind whiskeys.”
Individually numbered for authenticity, each bottle features a heavy gold cork engraved with the Founder’s family crest, alongside an embossed sash for an eye-catching display.
Bottled at 51.9% ABV, only 1,200 bottles of Boxergrail Founder’s Collection are available for purchase at Rabbit Hole Distillery and in select markets nationwide for a suggested retail price of $299.99 per 750ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
