Rebel Bourbon 6 Year 100 Proof is a confident and approachable Kentucky straight bourbon that marries traditional wheated mash-bill richness with six years of barrel maturation for depth and refined balance. Its polished profile is at once expressive and versatile — ideal for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of classic bourbon cocktails.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Distilled in Bardstown, Kentucky, Rebel Bourbon draws on a storied American whiskey heritage rooted in the original wheated bourbon recipes of the 19th century, later developed at Stitzel-Weller and maintained today under Lux Row Distillers. This expression is crafted from a mash bill predominated by corn, wheat, and malted barley, with wheat replacing rye to yield a softer, rounder flavor profile.
The whiskey undergoes six years of aging in new charred American oak barrels, allowing deep integration of wood-driven notes — vanilla, caramel, and spice — while achieving structural maturity and a refined mouthfeel. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), this bourbon offers amplified aromatic and flavor intensity without harshness, reflecting thoughtful maturation and skilled distillation.
Critics Reviews
There are no widely published formal professional critic scores from major spirits publications for Rebel Bourbon 6 Year 100 Proof. However, respected whiskey reviewers note that this expression delivers classic wheated bourbon characteristics with an oak-influenced maturity and inviting balance that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned sippers.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
Warm and inviting with aromas of vanilla, caramel, and sweet cornbread, supported by hints of citrus zest, dark fruit, and oak spice — a signature of extended barrel aging.
Palate:
The palate showcases rich wheat-driven sweetness, interwoven with butterscotch, baking spice, and gentle oak tannins. Notes of brown sugar and dried dark fruit add complexity without overwhelming the spirit’s inherent smoothness.
Finish:
Medium to long with lingering vanilla and spice, a touch of citrus peel brightness, and well-balanced oak — refined, warming, and comfortably persistent.
