A little more proof, a lot more personality. Rebel 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon takes the brand's traditional wheated bourbon recipe and turns up the volume, delivering a richer, bolder expression bottled at a substantial 50% ABV (100 Proof). Produced by Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky, Rebel draws on a bourbon recipe dating back to 1849.
Unlike traditional rye-heavy bourbons, Rebel uses wheat as its secondary grain, resulting in a softer, rounder character that balances beautifully against the additional intensity of the higher bottling strength. Its mash bill consists of 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley, producing a classic bourbon profile built around caramel, vanilla and sweet grain, with enough oak and warming spice to remind you that this isn't the entry level 80 proof expression.
Matured in new charred American oak barrels, Rebel 100 delivers an approachable yet full flavoured drinking experience. The higher proof also gives it enough backbone to stand up exceptionally well in an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour without disappearing behind the other ingredients. A proper Kentucky wheated bourbon.
No unnecessary theatrics, just more flavour where it counts. Tasting Notes Colour: Rich golden amber. Nose: Sweet vanilla, honey and caramel lead the way, accompanied by buttery corn, gentle oak and subtle hints of dried fruit. Palate: Bold and warming, with concentrated caramel, vanilla and sweet corn.
The wheat brings a rounded, softer mouthfeel, while toasted oak and a touch of spice provide structure and depth. Finish: Warming and relatively dry, with lingering caramel, vanilla, oak and a pleasant spicy kick.

The additional proof brings greater concentration to its caramel, vanilla and oak notes without abandoning the approachable character that makes wheated bourbon so enjoyable in the first place. Excellent neat, particularly good over a large cube of ice, and more than capable of making an Old Fashioned that actually tastes like bourbon rather than expensive sugar water.
