Rebel Yell (80 Proof)
80 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Luxco (Heaven Hill source)
$17–$20
Wheated bourbon (wheat secondary grain)
Nose
Light nose with more prominent alcohol presence than the aged expression; cereal/grain notes more apparent; less focused than the 10-year.
Palate
Sweeter up front than the 10-year; prominent corn and cereal character; fresh grain aroma reminiscent of a corn crib; pleasant but lacks the complexity of older versions.
Finish
Short finish that fades quickly; modest warmth but minimal lingering presence.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A fine, budget-friendly everyday pour with upfront sweetness and grain character that makes it an accessible daily drinker.
