A member of Rabbit Hole's Distillery Series, this rye whiskey was finished for six months in barrels previously used to age vermouth from Hotel Starlino Vermouth. It sells for $49.99 per 375-milliliter bottle. It's distilled from a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, aged at least four years and then finished for four months in the vermouth barrels.

Loads of sweet vermouth on the nose: sweet licorice meets notes of ginger and pink peppercorns.
Wow! Am I drinking neat whiskey or a Manhattan? This is pretty awesome. Cinnamon, ginger and oak are met with big-time vermouth character, plus vanilla.
The vermouth gets less sweet and more herbaceous here, which complements the rye nicely. Some cocoa powder and nuttiness sink in as the sip fades.
This whiskey is well-balanced and delightful. A must for any fan of a Manhattan.
