Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Discontinued)

This isn't bad at all, it's not my first choice for the price point but if it's good enough for Billy Idol, it's good enough for me. The bottle is also very heavy duty with a nice synthetic cork, good for an infinity bottle or homemade vinegar or something similar.

Fresh cut wood on the nose, apple vanilla on the palette.

Not much here outside of some oak near the finish.

This bottom shelf bourbon is oft-ignored. But as a cheap wheated bourbon it’s easy to drink. Just don’t expect much complexity. Nose: oak, sweet fruit, corn, caramel Palate: hints of butterscotch and baking spices, light creamy mouthfeel Finish: some spices and sweet citrus and that’s about it. Quick. Wheat bourbon lovers should be OK with this but it’s rough. Noses a bit like Makers Mark, slight cherry fruit. Slightly more medicinal than Makers but not far off.
