Rabbit Hole Distillery today announced the launch of Boxergrail Founder’s Collection, an 8-year-old rye whiskey bottled at cask strength. Building on the celebrated legacy of its previous 6-year iteration, this limited release is a distinct, richer interpretation of Rabbit Hole’s award-winning Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. It marks the newest addition to the brand’s highly sought-after Founder’s Collection.

Drawing on the success of the brand’s earlier Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, Rabbit Hole Founder and Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame Whiskey Maker Kaveh Zamanian opted for an extended maturation of 8 years for this release. Aged in wood-fired, toasted and charred new American Oak barrels and bottled at cask strength, this version achieves a new level of complexity and excellence in both flavor and appearance.

Named in honor of Louisville’s long legacy of boxing champions, this whiskey highlights the craftsmanship and innovation Rabbit Hole is known for. The Founder’s Collection is a platform under which Zamanian and team develop unique expressions that showcase ingenuity and commitment to the artistry of whiskey making. 

“For this latest Founder’s Collection release, our team set out to honor our core offering of Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey,” Zamanian said in a news release. “We aged it for 8 years and bottled it at cask strength to show how cask and whiskey come together at natural strength. The result is a bold expression that embodies strong character, showcasing innovation and creativity while honoring our city’s rich boxing heritage and fighting spirit,” “We’re especially proud of this special edition rye and look forward to sharing it with those who favor one-of-a-kind whiskeys.”

Only 1,200 bottles of Boxergrail Founder’s Collection are available for purchase at Rabbit Hole Distillery and in select markets nationwide. The 750 mL bottle has a suggested retail price of $299.99 and is 51.9% ABV (103.8 proof).
