I didn’t know what to expect going into this Rebel Yell 100 review, but turns out I actually like it quite a bit. The 100 proof adds a little extra intensity and fullness that’s quite interesting and delicious, but I wouldn’t call it complex by any means. It’s also oakier than I expected, but it still doesn’t take away from the overall experience. I think that some may find it a little too oaky and bitter though.

In addition to the flagship Rebel Bourbon, there are multiple line extensions to the Rebel Yell bourbon family. All of these selections are made using different recipes and ingredients so you will still want to consider your desired flavor before making a final decision about which variety you find perfect for consumption. Make sure you read the breakdown of each of these selections so that you will be able to decide on a drink option that provides you with a robust flavor profile. #1 Heaven Hill Green Label So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. Another claim is that it derived from the screams traditionally made by Irish and Scottish Highlanders when they made a Highland charge during battle. At the Battle of Killiecrankie "Dundee and the Chiefs chose to employ perhaps the most effective pre-battle weapon in the traditional (highland) arsenal – the eerie and disconcerting howl," [7] also "The terror was heightened by their wild plaided appearance and the distinctive war-cry of the Gael – a high, savage whooping sound ..." [8]In the following section, we’re going to breakdown the intimate details about the ingredients and recipes of the varieties offered by Rebel so that you will be able to make the right decision about which option is suited for your preferred flavor profile. Make sure you read this entire following section in full so that you can understand all of the core elements which are included in specific bottles that you may select. Core Mash Bill Breakdown NDPs don’t often disclose the source whiskey for their brands. But for a while, it was common knowledge the main supplier was Heaven Hill. However, the Stitzel-Weller’s original Rebel Yell bourbon recipe — which contained wheat instead of rye — remained the same. Over the decades, he has worked in nearly every capacity within the alcohol industry — including whiskey distiller, brand ambassador, marketing manager, public relations strategist and brand consultant. He’s teamed up with Master Sommeliers and Master Distillers to help educate people about the science that goes into alcohol production. And he’s worked with startup brands to turn local enthusiasm into national recognition. One thing that you must remember regardless of which selection you choose is that all of these varieties will come with their own unique taste and flavor profiles. After the whiskey has been mashed, fermented and distilled, bourbon must be matured in new American oak barrels according to U.S. regulations.

Mother would catch him by the coattails and plead, 'Shush, Doctor, shush'. But it never did any good. I have seen Father, ordinarily a model of reserve and dignity, leap up in the Metropolitan Opera House and let loose that piercing yell." Stan Freberg began his comedy recording of " The Yellow Rose of Texas" with his version of the rebel yell.

The video was directed by Jeff Stein, whose previous work included The Who documentary The Kids Are Alright. It was shot at the Capitol Theater in New Jersey with the audience made up of kids they bussed in from New York City. In the book I Want My MTV, Stein said: "We had lots of beer and wine on the busses, which nowadays you could not do. Everyone was well soused. I put the hot looking girls with the big tits up front." There’s a couple things to expect from a bottom shelf whiskey. The flavors are going to be standard, the mouthfeel will be thin, and a cheap alcohol taste will come with it. The last thing, and maybe most important, is a low price tag. Let’s take a look at how much a bottle of Rebel Bourbon will cost you. As a note, we compare prices from various Total Wine locations across the US. All-in: I’m feeling OK about the price of this, setting aside my usual misgivings about sourced whiskey generally and the occasionally ludicrous offerings from Luxco in particular. Speaking of ludicrous, here’s a list of all the meaningless words that appear on the label affixed to this bottle: “special limited edition,” “hand selected & extraordinary,” “wheated – defiantly smooth.” Recently, the brand dropped the word ‘Yell’ from the name, which means that you may currently find bottles with either ‘Rebel Yell’ or ‘Rebel Bourbon’ on shelves.For most of its existence, Luxco was a non-distillery producer — or NDP — which meant they did not own a distillery. Rebel Yell whiskey was mashed, distilled and barreled at another facility. Barrels were most likely transferred to the Luxco facility, where they were bottled and shipped to market.

Wheated bourbon tends to cause confusion, especially with newcomers to the American whiskey category. Like all bourbon, wheated bourbons are still required to contain at least 51 percent corn in the mashbill. However, while traditional bourbons contain wheat as the flavoring grain, distillers who make wheated bourbon swap the more traditional spicy rye grain for the soft and smooth wheat in the mash bill or list of grain ingredients. Rebel Yell 100 pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a great choice for dinner parties or gatherings. Here are a few food pairing suggestions that I think work particularly well: There are also traces of warm spice sprinkled through the mixture which adds a nice opposing element to the blend overall. Its main ingredients include malt, wheat, and corn in addition to all of the other extra taste infusions we mentioned previously. 100 Proof Bourbon The 10-year old Rebel Yell single barrel bourbon selection is one of the longest aged varieties offered by Rebel Yell being that it is aged in charred oak barrell for 10yrs. This selection has an alcohol content of 50% by volume and it is 100 proof making it a very potent variety offered by the company. It also has one of the most unique blends offered by the company being that it has hints of citrus and caramel combined. As you progress through the body of bourbon, it reveals the underlying oak flavor profile prevalent in this variety in addition to the spices infused in the mixture.I Don't Know from I Don't CareThe song is obviously about a lady wanting lots of sex, and she's demanding with a rebel yell "more more more". She can't get enough of the guy. There’s two things I get in the aroma: honey and alcohol. It’s the same kind of alcohol smell that I expect from something like an alcohol swab at a doctor’s office, not necessarily something I want in my beverage. That said, it’s not as overwhelming as some of the “bottom shelf” blended whiskey offerings, more like a hint than a main attraction. In 1849,William Weller founded the W.L. Weller & Sons company. Weller was a distiller who pioneered the use of wheat instead of rye in bourbon for a lighter flavor, and the company produced their own distinct bourbons until they merged with the Stitzel distilling company in 1910. The subsequent company then became the Stitzel-Weller distilling company. Rebel Whiskey is owned by Luxco, but the whiskey is distilled at Heaven Hill Distillery. Luxco opened their distillery, Lux Row Distillers, in 2018, so they may begin distilling their own whiskey for Rebel Bourbon. Do They Still Make Rebel Yell Bourbon?
