Rabbit Hole Derringer Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks
93 proof NAS Bourbon Rabbit Hole Distillery Louisville, KY $70–$80 68% corn, 18% wheat, 14% malted barley
Nose

Sweet and fruity with prominent caramel and vanilla. Raisin and floral notes reminiscent of fresh rose petals. Hints of pear or peach from the malted barley component.

Palate

Balanced and flavorful with nice upfront fruit character. Baking spice on the mid-palate alongside caramel and vanilla. Dryness develops toward the back end from the wine cask influence.

Finish

Short and dry with little lingering flavor. Drops off quickly without much oil or richness.

Respectable
A well-crafted wheated bourbon finished in PX sherry casks with balanced fruit-forward character, though the finish lacks the length and depth of expression for which one might hope.
