About this Event


🔥 Smoke & Oak: An Evening with Rabbit Hole

Friday, July 18 | 6PM – 8PM
The Paddock at Hotel Indy

Step into the Rabbit Hole and explore a modern chapter in Kentucky bourbon. This immersive tasting experience features a bold and expressive lineup from Rabbit Hole Distillery — a Louisville standout known for its innovation, style, and flavor.

Paired with cigars, firelight, and a curated ambiance, this evening blends tradition with modern indulgence.

🥃 Tasting Lineup:

1. Cavehill – A four-grain bourbon that’s floral and honeyed with notes of toasted grain.
2. Heigold – A high-rye bourbon bursting with citrus zest, baking spice, and toasted sugar.
3. Dareringer – Finished in PX sherry casks for a jammy, lush profile with fig, cherry, and cocoa.
4. Boxergrail Cask Strength – Unfiltered and intense. A powerful rye with deep spice and heat.
5. (Optional VIP Add-On) Mizunara Founder’s Collection – Finished in rare Japanese oak, this complex pour delivers sandalwood, spice, and tropical fruit notes in a beautifully exotic finish.
