Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey PRODUCTION AREA: Bardstown - Kentucky RAW MATERIAL: Corn (68%), wheat (20%), barley malt (12%), yeast, water. DISTILLATION: Corn, wheat, barley malt and water are heated and left to cool. The yeast is added and fermentation begins. The liquid obtained is distilled until it reaches 80% alc./vol. and then diluted with water to reach 62.5% alc./vol. COLOUR: amber yellow AROMA: complex, with hints of caramel, oak wood, vanilla and brown sugar TASTE: The presence of wheat makes the sensation on the palate more delicate compared to a rye Bourbon. Vanilla, wheat and oak are perceived. TASTING NOTES: Pleasant and warm persistence, prolonged by hints of spices.
DESCRIPTION: The 'Rebel Yell' brand was created for the Stitzel-Weller Distillery by Charles R. Farnsley (former mayor of Louisville) in the mid-1900s, around the 100th anniversary of the original Weller Company, with the idea of small-batch distillation for exclusive distribution in the southern United States. Rebel Yell is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky and the original old recipe dates back to 1849. Today, Rebel Yell is bridging the gap between its proud heritage and modern tastes to honour the universal spirit of rebellion that lives in all of us. AGEING: A minimum of 6 years in American oak barrels. The best casks are selected and allocated to the Small Batch programme.
