Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Discontinued)

Comes in hot, but great for the price. Good go to for cheap bourbob

Not sure why Distiller gives this an 84. Out of the bottle, the nose is dominated by acetone (not just the typical alcohol nose, but acetone - nail polish remover). After sitting for awhile, the nose transitions to barnyard, with acetone in the background. If you couldn't tell, I didn't like the nose. On the palate, young corn sweetness and dough - not much if any barrel. This is followed by the characteristic tingle of wheaters, and a short-but-smooth finish. Whereas I love to nose Maker's Mark, but don't like drinking it, I'd avoid nosing this one but pick it for drinking over MM. Simple, one-dimensional sweet, but no off notes while drinking... would probably mix OK, where floral/apple flavors might emerge. Glad I tried it, but won't buy again unless more flavor (and less acetone/barnyard) develop in the open bottle.
