General description

10/5/21 So my friend Patrick shows up at my door with a bottle of Rebel Yell and Rocky Patel Edge Maduro cigars! Had not partaken of The Yell in quite a while. In the nose it was quite mild. When sipping, found it sweet and quite smooth, with brown sugar maple syrup notes. Surprisingly significant spice showed up. A surprise since it is a wheated bourbon. I truly enjoyed this bottling. The cigars too. The Edge Corojo is a very nice stick too. very spicy and full bodied.

General description

Rebel (Yell) is an incredibly woody bourbon with a nice secondary burn at the sides of the palate. Peppery, nutty and spicy with a long finish.

Nose

The nose is lacquered wood, spicy ribbon candy. Peanut dust. The barrel spices just flavor above the glass. There is a peppery spice that manifests like fennel or black licorice. Some sulfuric cabbage/broccoli water. But the final inhale is a perfume of rose petals.

Palate

Right off the bat, the first taste is spices: black pepper, rye, cinnamon. There is a sawdust and wood mid-palate. Brown leaves. Peanut. A little bit of corn syrup, with some sugary malted barley. With some ice, some stewed red apple emerges.

Finish

The finish is long and luxurious. The woodiness is more resinous and oily than the dryness of the first taste. Chocolate and bitter mocha. Almonds. There is an earthy, leafy dryness. The burn is very long-lasting. The barrel leaves behind some tannins as well as some residual spices.

Soft smooth hay flavors with fresh nature tones like cut grass. Short easy finish. Not an eventful taste.

For the price, and the quality I'd almost give it a 100. Super smooth and mellow.

General description

I only bought a sample so not a lot to base this on. The nose was very faint, hard to pick up anything, slight vanilla and grass. Gentle palate with vanilla, smooth and short finish. Pour it over ice though and it disappears. I'd probably use as a mixer.

This bourbon is better than the low price would lead one to believe. A smooth, easy whiskey to enjoy, either in mixed drinks or just sipping on it's own.
