It is a high-proof version of the original Rebel Yell bourbon, which was first introduced in 1936. Rebel Yell 100 is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) and is made with a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Product History<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rebel Yell 100 is a relatively new addition to the Rebel Yell family of bourbons, having been introduced in 2018. The original Rebel Yell bourbon was named after the Confederate battle cry and was first produced by the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. The brand was later sold to Luxco, which now produces Rebel Yell at its Lux Row Distillers facility in Bardstown, Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>Rebel Yell 100 is made using the same recipe as the original Rebel Yell bourbon, but with a higher proof. The wheated mash bill gives the bourbon a smooth and mellow flavor profile, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Price Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rebel Yell 100 is a mid-range bourbon, with a price point that is slightly higher than the original Rebel Yell bourbon. It typically retails for around $21\u2013$35 per 750-ml bottle, making it a good value for a high-proof wheated bourbon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11359 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rebel-Yell-100.jpg\" alt=\"Rebel Yell 100 Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rebel-Yell-100.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rebel-Yell-100-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rebel-Yell-100-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rebel-Yell-100-350x525.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/products2.imgix.drizly.com\/ci-rebel-yell-100-proof-bourbon-b7266065978ebd6b.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ch=Width%2CDPR&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">products2.imgix.drizly.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasting_Notes\"><\/span><strong>Tasting Notes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Aroma<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I opened the bottle of Rebel Yell 100 and immediately noticed a strong aroma of sweet vanilla and caramel. There was also a hint of oak and a subtle floral note.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Flavor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Upon taking my first sip, I was hit with a burst of sweetness. The flavor was dominated by vanilla and caramel, with a slight hint of honey. I also detected a subtle corn flavor in the background, which was pleasant. The mouthfeel was oily and smooth, coating my tongue with a rich, velvety texture.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The finish was long and warm, with a pleasant burn that lingered in my throat. The sweetness of the vanilla and caramel flavors faded, leaving a subtle oak flavor in its place. There was also a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, which added a nice complexity to the finish.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Overall, I found Rebel Yell 100 to be a solid bourbon with a pleasant aroma, sweet flavor, and warming finish. While it may not be the most complex bourbon I&#8217;ve tried, it is certainly enjoyable and easy to drink. I would give Rebel Yell 100 a rating of 8 out of 10.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mixing_and_Pairing\"><\/span><strong>Mixing and Pairing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to enjoying Rebel Yell 100, there are a variety of mixing and pairing options that can enhance your drinking experience.
