Lux Row Distillers (Bardstown, KY)this week announced the release of Rebel Small Batch Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, featuring barrels that were hand-selected by Lux Row Distillers Master Distiller John Rempe and blended into small batches. A limited allocation is set to reach retail shelves across the country later this month at a suggested retail price of $34.99 per 750 ml bottle.
Rebel Small Batch Reserve features some of the finest barrels from Rebel’s traditional four-year-old wheated-bourbon mash bill, bottled at 110 proof to deliver a more intense flavor. The resulting bourbon features an aroma containing rich scents of honey, vanilla and caramel; a palate of dark fruit, caramel and vanilla with robust tones from the barrel; and a warm finish, followed by a light spice.
“It’s always a pleasure to set aside notable barrels to release in small batches, as it provides fans of our bourbons the opportunity to enjoy the brands they love in a unique way,” said Rempe. “Rebel Small Batch Reserve is an example of taking the same time-honored wheated recipe created in 1849 and presenting it in a small-batch format and at 110 proof. The result is an exceptionally bold, yet dependably smooth, take on Rebel that consumers are certain to love.”
