Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla notes dominate, followed by hints of dried fruit and toasted oak. A subtle nuttiness reminiscent of almonds emerges, along with a whisper of dark chocolate and baking spices.

Palate: Smooth and full-bodied, with an initial burst of sweet caramel and honey. The sherry influence becomes more pronounced, bringing raisin and fig flavors. Cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth, balanced by a touch of citrus zest. Toasted oak provides a solid backbone throughout.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of caramel and dried fruit. The sherry sweetness gradually fades, giving way to a pleasant oakiness and a subtle spice tingle. A hint of dark chocolate bitterness appears at the very end, leaving a complex and memorable impression.

Rabbit Hole Dareringer Bourbon starts its journey as a high-rye bourbon, aged for several years in new charred oak barrels before being finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This unique finishing process imparts rich, sweet notes of dried fruits and nuts to the bourbon, creating a complex flavor profile that sets Dareringer apart from traditional Kentucky bourbons.

  • Rabbit Hole Dareringer's unique sherry finish comes from aging in Pedro Ximénez casks, which previously held an intensely sweet dessert sherry often described as tasting like liquid raisins. This imparts rich notes of dried fruit and dark chocolate to the bourbon.
  • The name "Dareringer" is a playful nod to the distillery founder's wife, Heather, who dared him to pursue his passion for whiskey-making. It's a love story in a bottle!
  • Unlike many sherry-finished bourbons that use a brief secondary aging, Dareringer spends a full 18 months in its sherry casks. This extended period allows for deeper flavor integration, resulting in a more complex and balanced final product.

      Surprisingly delicious!

      I have not had any of Rabbit Hole bourbon before, so the Dareringer Sherry was my first. I found this bourbon to be rather delicious. It was not overly sweet, but maybe a tad more heat would have been interesting. I would buy this bourbon again, despite the price being perhaps a bit higher than I think it should be. And for the record, I am no bourbon expert and my wife and I are new to bourbon. However, I know what I like, which in the end is probably what matters. :)

      Absolutely fantastic

      Bought this recently as it was brought into my own bar as one of three super premium whiskeys. It is disgustingly delicious, goes down like water, and it even knocked off my old favorite Big Bottom Barlow Trail Sherry Casked as number one. If you like your whiskey sherried, give this one a try.

      A must try

      This is a phenomenal bottle. The sherry barrels add so much complexity to the finish. It’s a great change of pace and I would highly recommend it!
