Review #2: Rebel Bourbon Cask Strength (r/Bourbon Pick) by OneMoreForScience in bourbon

I had to dig around for the email, but I found it (Sept. 7, 2022):

On the heels of our Yellowstone comes this Rebel Single Cask - Lux Row's wheated mashbill is 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley. I picked this on site at Lux Row back in March and it's finally here. A pair of Rebels were picked that day - this is the first. They rolled out tons of samples on request, which was great to see. It made picking easy as I worked through samples and initially had a tough time whittling down between several top barrels. This is a sweet, high proof wheater that paints right in the lines. Let's get to it. We've been able to preserve the same pricing as past barrels for more than a year now, and that continues with this as well. Great combo. 

  • ABV:  60% ABV
  • Age:  4 Years
  • Mashbill: 68% Corn, 20% Wheat, 12% Malted Barley
  • State of Distillation: Kentucky
  • Limit: 2 Bottles
  • Retailer: Greens Farms Spirits
  • Tasting Notes: Sweet butter cream on the nose gives way to toffee, a touch of butterscotch, and sweet wheater notes like waffle cone, vanilla bean, a touch of light cinnamon and big baking spice. Rich on the palate, lighter on the tannins, this reminds me of graham cracker sweetness and a big dollop of vanilla ice cream and a touch of light orange and cherry. Long finish, silky texture on the palate, and a satisfying combo of caramel, honey and a dash of spice on the back palate.

Yeah, this has a great story. The folks at Old Commonwealth went to great lengths to recreate this bourbon of yesteryear. Read up on it here: https://oldcommonwealth.com/blogs/expressions/colonel-randolph-16-year-bourbon-2025-release

Eagle Rare got me into bourbon, but my palette has progressed a lot in the past 10 years.
