Prepare for a sensory journey like no other as we showcase an award-winning bourbon that embodies craftsmanship and innovation.

THOUGHTS Bourbon is crafted using time-honored techniques combined with ingenuity. We utilize smaller barrels to elevate the bourbon-making process — unlocking a symphony of flavors and aromas. The result is a remarkable transformation as the bourbon absorbs the wood's rich characteristics faster.

With every sip of THOUGHTS, you'll experience a fusion of robust oak undertones, and a delightful hint of caramel, with the smoothest finish in the business. Our bourbon is a testament to the artistry and dedication poured into every bottle.

Discover THOUGHTS — the bourbon that combines tradition with an unyielding pursuit of originality.

Maker Notes

For this limited release, we took an exceptional 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and finished it for one year in new French Oak barrels sculpted by the virtuoso artisans of Tonnellerie Leroi, one of France’s most renown cooperages. The exquisite bourbon that has emerged from these barrels is as luxurious in taste as it is in appearance.

Bourbon is the quintessential American Whiskey. A storied spirit whose French roots have been strong since its inception over two centuries ago. This 16-year-old Limited Edition Rabbit Hole Founder’s Collection expression is an homage to bourbon’s French connection. Finished in new French Oak, Nevallier Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is named for the two forests in France, Nevers and Allier, from which the distinctive wood for the barrels was sourced.

TASTING NOTES

Auburn color highlights Nevallier’s strong character while fragrances of custard, orange, cherry, and caramel raise expectations. On the palate, it delivers an earthy opulence balanced with an intricate dance of tobacco, vanilla, fig, blackcurrant, spice and cinnamon, which culminate to a long dramatic finish with intense spice and floral notes.

Numbered Limited Edition Bottle & Box
This exquisite Limited Edition bottle and box are works of art unto themselves. Each is individually numbered for authenticity. The bottle features an impressive heavy gold cork, while the masterful wooden box is designed with magnetic front and back panels that may be removed to display this one-of-a-kind whiskey in its full grandeur.

Tasting Notes

Nose
There is a sweet sense of small grains particularly the malted barley, with a hint of sweet caramel. The balance of the small grains (wheat and barley) with the hint of sweet caramel/vanilla, gives the immediate sensation and question in your mind; is this a great bourbon, or is this a great Scotch? Honestly, smelling it will make you feel like you are in a Scotch Whisky warehouse.

Palate
Initially there is sense of warm spicy sweetness from the rye that you might expect from a great bourbon, but then the combination and soft tones from the wheat and barley give a pleasant calming warmness to the tongue. As it melts in the mouth the essence of orange and grapefruit linger behind the soft velvety feel in the mouth.

Finish
In the throat, the soft caramel/vanilla reappears and trails away with a long soft pleasant finish.

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

In 1773, three McAfee Brothers named James, George and Robert left Virginia westward to explore the uncharted territory that would later become known as Kentucky. Traveling by canoe at first, the McAfee Company eventually followed a native trail overland that led to the great buffalo crossing, where the brothers surveyed the land now home to the world’s most award-winning distillery – Buffalo Trace Distillery. The surveyor marks left behind are known as benchmarks and this bourbon whiskey honors the pioneering spirits of these early American explorers.
