NOSE Caramel, oak, biscuity, honey, dried cherries, cinnamon and a touch herbal. Significantly richer and warmer aroma over the traditional Rebel Yell. Not crazy deep or anything, but a big improvement. PALATE Oak, caramel, vanilla cake, citrus frosting, baking spice, dried cherries, hazelnuts and a touch herbal. Again, the Rebel Yell Rebel Reserve is better than the regular RY ever was and it comes through like a decent bourbon. This is pleasantly drinkable. FINISH Medium -> Oak, darkly sweet and fruity fades to herbal spice.
