Rabbit Hole Nevallier Founder's Collection 16 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is an exceptional, limited-edition Kentucky straight bourbon that stands as one of Rabbit Hole Distillery’s most prestigious releases. Crafted by Founder and Whiskey Maker Kaveh Zamanian, Nevallier draws its name from Tronçais and Allier oak forests in France—where the rare French oak used for finishing this bourbon originates.

Aged for 16 years in new charred American oak barrels and then finished in French oak casks traditionally used for fine wine maturation, Rabbit Hole Nevallier achieves an extraordinary balance of power, elegance, and depth. Bottled at 115.8 proof (57.9% ABV), it showcases rich layers of caramel, dark fruit, spice, and oak wrapped in a velvety texture. This expression is part of Rabbit Hole’s Founder’s Collection, a line reserved for experimental, ultra-premium, small-batch whiskeys designed to push the boundaries of craftsmanship and flavor.
