About the Distillery

Rabbit Hole is a modern craft distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, founded with a fresh, design-forward approach to American whiskey. The team takes a deliberate, grain-conscious view of their recipes and forgoes chill filtering so the full character of the spirit carries through to the glass. Boxergrail is their flagship Kentucky straight rye, an expression that pairs traditional craft with contemporary confidence.

Style & Mash Bill

This is a Kentucky straight rye, with a mash bill led emphatically by rye and rounded out with a measure of malted barley. That generous proportion of rye drives the whiskey’s spice and brightness, while the malted barley lends a velvety, supple texture. Aged in charred new oak, it carries the warm vanilla and toasted-wood depth that comes with proper maturation.

Tasting Notes

Boxergrail opens with peppery rye spice, baking spices and a touch of citrus, layered over soft caramel and oak. The palate is lively yet smooth, balancing that signature rye snap with notes of vanilla, dried orchard fruit and gentle clove. The finish is warming and clean, leaving a pleasant tingle of spice that invites another sip.

What to Pair It With

The bright spice of this rye is a natural match for bold, savory plates. Try it alongside our Spicy Sausage Rigatoni, where the whiskey’s pepper echoes the dish’s heat, or with our Sicilian Meatballs for a comforting, rich pairing. It also shines next to a selection from our Charcuterie Board. Explore the full dine-in menu for more inspired matches.
