Boxergrail Founder’s Collection 8-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a tribute to Louisville’s rich boxing heritage and the resilient spirit that defines its community. Crafted by Rabbit Hole as part of their Founder’s Collection, this limited edition celebrates their signature Boxergrail Rye Whiskey in an elevated form. Aged for 8 years and bottled at cask strength, this release showcases how the artful interplay of rye and oak can create a whiskey of remarkable depth and intensity.

This exceptional rye is aged in hand-selected, toasted and charred American oak barrels, imparting layers of flavor that add complexity to its robust profile. Bottled at its natural strength, the whiskey presents bold, vibrant character with notes of dark spice, toasted vanilla, and a hint of caramel sweetness, followed by a long, warming finish that reflects its time in the barrel.

Boxergrail Founder’s Collection highlights a 95% rye mash bill complemented by malted barley, delivering a velvety mouthfeel that balances its strength with surprising smoothness. Each sip embodies the boxing legacy of Louisville, capturing the bold determination of local fighters who’ve emerged as champions.

With this release, Rabbit Hole honors both its craft and the city’s heritage, presenting a rye whiskey that’s as powerful and enduring as the athletes who inspired it.

TASTING NOTES

Auburn color highlights Boxergrail's strong character while fragrances of mint, cinnamon, anise, and brown sugar while a lingering licorice and floral aroma raise expectations. On the palate, it delivers a creamy and rich balance with a twist of cinnamon, ginger, tobacco, and blood orange, which culminate to a long dramatic -fnish of intense allspice with slight notes of herbs, tobacco, and oak.
