This is a good buy for 29.99. I don't think this release will continue as is because Rebel will likely use different juice than Heaven Hill going forward. This is just my guess.
Nose is really approachable. It gives off oak and pink bubble gum. It reminds me of good experiences as a kid packing my mouth with big league chew. There is a little hay stacked in a barn smell.
Palate is really pleasant but simple as you might expect. Bubble gum follows through on the palate, or some people might say cotton candy. White or vanilla cake batter makes an appearance intermingling with some barrel char. There is a little honey and graham cracker.
Finish is simple with some sweet and concentrated vanilla, black pepper and a dusty sawdust remains at the very end of a pleasant finish.
Now open for a few months it is falling apart and becoming unbalanced. If you open it, good idea would be to work your way through it quickly.
