Rabbit Hole Distillery, Straight Bourbon Finished in PX Sherry Casks Dareringer, (93 Proof)

Rabbit Hole’s Dareringer is an exceptional bourbon that goes beyond the traditional, finishing in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks for a unique twist on classic bourbon. This innovative expression offers a balance of bourbon’s bold flavors with the decadence and complexity of the sherry influence.

On the nose, the bourbon reveals sweet layers of caramel, vanilla, and toffee, with a prominent note of dried fruit—raisin and fig—sitting at the core. The sherry cask aging adds a rich, almost syrupy depth, complemented by a light spice from the bourbon. On the palate, it’s smooth and full-bodied, with the dark fruit flavors and oak spice melding seamlessly. The sweetness from the PX Sherry brings a lush, dessert-like quality that balances the bourbon’s inherent warmth. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving behind hints of dried fruit, chocolate, and a gentle spice that lingers.

Perfect on its own or over a single ice cube, Dareringer is a standout sipper that will also shine in more refined whiskey cocktails. Whether you’re new to sherry-finished whiskies or a seasoned enthusiast, this offering from Rabbit Hole is a unique, memorable experience.
