As Kentucky’s most celebrated racing season kicks off, Rabbit Hole Distillery announced the launch of Raceking, a six-year aged, limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. 

This milestone release builds on the original Raceking introduced in 2020, now aged longer. Raceking is a 95 proof (47.5% ABV) bourbon crafted from a unique, distinctive five-grain mash bill featuring chocolate-malted wheat and chocolate-malted barley. Aged six years in handmade toasted and charred American oak casks from Kelvin Cooperage, Raceking develops remarkable complexity.

“Raceking reflects how I like to approach bourbon, with respect for tradition but a willingness to explore its edges,” Kaveh Zamanian, founder of Rabbit Hole Distillery, said in a news release. “With this release, we wanted to honor Kentucky’s legendary horse racing tradition. The name Raceking reflects that heritage and embodies the careful, deliberate process required to craft a bourbon worthy of a thoroughbred pedigree. 

“Every element, from our five-grain mash bill to the toasted and charred barrels, was designed to create a bold, distinct flavor that celebrates both Kentucky’s history and Rabbit Hole’s approach to thoughtful whiskey making.”

Raceking is available in 750 mL bottles at select retailers and on Rabbit Hole Distillery’s website while supplies last. MSRP: $95.00.
