About Rabbit Hole Heigold Rye Bourbon
Rabbit Hole Heigold is a high-rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Pernod Ricard USA, featuring a mashbill of 70% corn, 25% rye, and 5% malted barley, aged around three years in slowly-toasted barrels, bottled at 47.5% ABV (95 proof) for $33.72 per 750ml. What makes it special is its impressive maturity for its young age, delivering a balanced profile of sweet caramel and butterscotch contrasted by rye spice, baking spices, and subtle citrus, all in a smooth, easy-sipping package that punches above its proof. It's ideal for bourbon newcomers seeking approachable sweetness without harshness, high-rye fans wanting floral and peppery notes, or casual drinkers enjoying it neat, on rocks, or in cocktails. Compared to category peers like other high-rye bourbons (e.g., Bulleit or Wild Turkey 101), Heigold stands out for its developed flavors and lack of burn despite youth, though some find its sweetness overpowering amid abundant easy-drinking options; at this price, it offers strong value for versatile daily sipping.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas burst with sweet toasted malt, caramel, butterscotch, and oak, evolving to reveal floral rye, dried fruits like apricot and cherries, warm baking spices such as cinnamon and cloves, and hints of citrus or vanilla custard. The inviting profile suggests maturity beyond its three years, with subtle herbaceous and spearmint notes adding depth. Intensity is medium-light, pleasant without overwhelming.
👅 Palate
The mouthfeel is creamy and medium-bodied, surprisingly gentle for 95 proof, opening with dominant sweet butterscotch, brown sugar, and corn-driven caramel that can overpower lighter rye spice. Subtle citrus like orange, stone fruits, and baking spices like cinnamon and clove emerge, alongside nuttiness, oak, and occasional herbaceous mint or wintergreen. Some detect youthful graininess or astringency, but overall it's chewy, balanced, and smooth with minimal burn.
✨ Finish
Medium-length and drying, it crescendos with rye pepper spice, wood tannins, and barrel char, while sweet vanilla, caramel, and gingerbread linger prominently. Bright fruit, cedary oak, and mint provide a herbaceous close without bitterness.
