Rabbit Hole Amburana Founder's Collection Bourbon Whiskey

Our Founder, Kaveh Zamanian, has always been drawn to Brazil's culture. With its passionate fans, exotic foods, infectious music, and colorful carnivals, it is a region pulsing with energy. It is also home to the majestic Amazon rainforest where the timber towers and the Amburana tree soars. Finishing this Founder's Collection offering with this unique hardwood, which is most often used to age the rum-like spirit Cachaca, makes this one-of-a-kind bourbon truly remarkable.

For this limited release, we took an exceptional 12 Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and -finished it in new Amburana Brazilian Oak barrels. These barrels have a heavy toast and #4 char. Toasting the barrel is a slow process that coaxes the sugars from it's fibers and opens the wood. The fitting alligator char caramelizes these sugars and causes the wood to peel, allowing the spirit to draw out nuanced flavors from the barrel.
