I saw Rebel 10 for the first time ever in my area so I had to grab one. Ive seen wildly divergent reviews of this, so i wasn’t sure my $90 was safe. I shouldn’t have worried! Its a 2024 release and “only” 10 years old - i know there are older releases out there.
Also I understand this is very likely a wheated Heaven Hill and therefore essentially a bottle of a rejected Old Fitzgerald single barrel which is pretty cool.
The nose and palate are pretty simple - oak, some kind of yeast or laquer. So far, fine but not impressive. But the instant the finish hits, this thing surges to a high rating. It is Luden’s cherry cough drops, all day. My favorite note of all time. Honestly as I noted the nose and palate are just normal, but that finish - insane. I immediately bought another bottle and it’s the same barrel. Whew.
Love this, but it is incomplete without a great nose or palate. But that finish - ridiculous. Your mileage may vary.
