Rebel Yell 10 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Rebel Yell · Lux Row Distillers
A decade in the barrel has given this bourbon real gravitas without tipping into over-oaked territory. The single barrel selection adds individuality to each bottle. A strong value at this age statement.
Nose
Immediate charred oak gives way to butterscotch and vanilla custard. Underneath there's a dry tobacco note and a wisp of dark cherry.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied with pronounced caramel and baking spices. Leather and toasted pecan develop mid-palate, balanced by a corn sweetness that keeps things approachable.
Finish
Long and warming with lingering charred oak and a final flicker of maple syrup.
