Rebel Yell 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Neat. Returning to this a few weeks later after a lukewarm first impression. Nose is quite inviting. Oak gives way to vanilla and berries. But of floral. Lots of high notes after that initial oak. Some cinnamon lurking behind everything. Mmm better than I remember. Oak, vanilla, chocolate. Butterscotch. Lots of inviting desert flavors. Oak lingers. Upping my rating of this one.

Banana bread on the nose. Oak, leather palate. Slight burn on the finish. Mellows with a single cube.

A rich but brittle and bitter bourbon that is overpriced and consistently performs below Maker’s 46, Weller Antique and other wheated bourbons in the $30-50 MSRP range. If Lux got this from Nelson County it’s gotta be the worst of the Old Fitzgerald stock. Nose: fruit, like cherries or raisins, toffee, a bit of ethanol Palate: more ethanol... but also sweet wheat and fruits, some vanilla spice Finish: medium and full of spice, some wandering floral notes come in. Mostly cinnamon on the finish. Total money grab by Lux. This is a $30 wheater. Tops.
