Rebel Yell 2018 Single Barrel 10 year old, 50%

Price: 60 Issue: Summer 2018 Reviewer: Fred Minnick Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Absolutely stellar opening, with blueberries, black currants, and mashed cherries complementing vanilla icing, cornbread, and chocolate-hazelnut wafers. Then it's salt water taffy, bread pudding, honey, jalapeño poppers, and snickerdoodles. But it does not stop there: baking spices develop toward the end, with bright cinnamon notes coating the long finish. (Barrel No. 5083254 reviewed; 12,000 bottles)
