Rabbit Hole Boxergrail Rye is a tribute to Louisville’s boxing legacy, but it lands its punches with finesse, not force. It’s bold, spicy, and athletic, yet surprisingly smooth. Like the greats in the ring, it doesn’t just throw heat. It moves with precision, balance, and depth.

Rabbit Hole Boxergrail Rye Whiskey
Brand: Rabbit Hole | Category: Straight Rye Whiskey | ABV: 47.5% | Origin: Kentucky, USA | Vol: 750ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Picture stepping into a spice market at dusk, waves of black pepper, cinnamon, and fresh mint swirl over hints of cherry cola and worn leather.
Palate: Sharp, structured, and layered. A pop of rye spice leads the way, followed by sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and a touch of dark fruit. It’s punchy but refined, like velvet gloves over clenched fists.
Finish: Clean, dry, and disciplined. It exits with a snap, pepper, mint, and light smoke that lingers just long enough to keep you thinking.

Production Details
Boxergrail uses a 95% rye mashbill and is aged in toasted and charred barrels. That high rye content is what gives it that crisp, spicy personality but Rabbit Hole’s meticulous barrel program softens the edges without dulling the intensity. It’s traditional rye, reimagined with a modern twist.

Perfect For
A post-run pour or a pre-show ritual. This is for thinkers, doers, and anyone who appreciates the fire of rye without the usual rough edges.

Expert Notes
A standout among contemporary rye whiskies. Bartenders love its structure in cocktails like the Sazerac or Old Fashioned, while purists praise its complexity neat. It’s a bottle that earns its keep in any serious whisky lineup.
