I've heard a few questions on better bourbons for the money when I've given some lower scores to some of the "legends". Well here's the secrete!
Nose - Cherry wood, spicy oak, a bit of peanut butter (never got this before on this one), vanilla oak, i'm starting to get tobacco and hay. Just to point out I remember this being more sweet and old oak vs right now it's a bit more nutty.
Taste - So I did have some scotch before this, a very vanilla and sweet one and it's odd but I'm getting so much nutty flavor here I've never gotten before. Old oak, spicy, candy, touch of nut, vanilla, caramel.
Rebel Yell 10 is perhaps the best for the money wheater on the market. It's insanely good and for those who keep chasing price...this was 70 for me and I know you can get it for as low as 50.
Of course, not barrel proof so the mouth feel suffers some, it's a touch more spicy and the alcohol is a touch harsh. So yeah lets not go crazy this is priced like a daily drinker (at least for us scotch drinkers I know bourbon guys want 30 or less for that) so don't expect to get blown away.
Anyway giving this the same score at ECBP A119, 3.75. Just really hard for me to give a 4.0 to most bourbons, I just like more age and or finishing to get there. If you want a wheated bourbon, get this not weller. That's my advice at least.

I have found one bottle of this on the shelf. I really liked it, especially after a splash to open it up. It is on my "buy when/if you find it" list.
great review and 💯 agree. Love RY 10 and make a point to always buy it when I see it. Cheers.
