Light and smooth as you’d expect from a wheated bourbon, but has a slightly darker profile than some... more brown sugar sweet than artificial sweeteners, hint of nutty flavors and a nice cinnamon spiciness. Some fruit on the nose and subtly on the palate. Good tingle to the burn that lasts long enough . Very pleasant, especially at the price.
Final number: 88
Nose: sweet corn, vanilla, hints of cherry
Palate: richer than the 80 proof but spicier than expected as the lower proof Rebel Yell was always pretty smooth if one dimensional.
Finish: short to medium
The nutty nose on this especially betrays what I imagine is Heaven Hill sourcing. I’d say this is a few points better than the 80 proof and since the price point is pretty similar I’d go for this one over the 80.
The best budget wheater at $15-20 a bottle. If you're a fan of the spicy (it's mellowed being a wheater), cinnamon profile - this is a daily to have in your cabinet all the time. I buy this stuff by the case when I do buy it. Uncork it and let it sit 2-3 weeks to open up.
