The Founder's Journey: From Psychology to Bourbon Mastery
The genesis of Rabbit Hole Distillery is as unique as its bourbon. It began with Kaveh Zamanian, a clinical psychologist with a successful career. However, life took a turn when he met and fell in love with Heather, a native of Louisville. This romance not only changed his life but also ignited his passion for America's native spirit. The allure of bourbon and the rich heritage of Kentucky's distilling tradition captivated him, leading him to an audacious decision. He chose to leave his established career behind and delve into the world of bourbon-making. Zamanian's move to Kentucky, driven by this newfound passion and a dream to create something exceptional, laid the foundation for Rabbit Hole Distillery.
Rekindling Lost Art: A Modern Twist on Traditional Bourbon
Rabbit Hole's approach to bourbon-making is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. It's not just about adhering to the tried and tested methods; it's about pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. Zamanian's background in psychology and his outsider's perspective brought a fresh approach to bourbon crafting. The distillery's innovative mash bills are a testament to this, combining heritage grains with unique flavor profiles. This bold approach results in distinctive bourbon expressions, each telling a different story. These bourbons are more than just spirits; they're a canvas where the artistry of the past meets the ingenuity of the present.
Each bottle of Rabbit Hole bourbon embodies this journey of discovery, creativity, and love. It represents a relentless pursuit of excellence and a tribute to the timeless art of bourbon making. This is the essence of Rabbit Hole – a distillery that's not just making bourbon, but redefining what bourbon can be.
