Set Maker's Mark + Rebel Yell
Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight is a cult bourbon whiskey made from corn, grains, and barley.
In 1849, when everyone else was using a rye mashbill, Rebel Yell produced wheat-based bourbon. And it is this award-winning diverse recipe that defies trends today.
Rebel Yell is original and unapologetically bold. It is produced at Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown. The original recipe from William LaRue Weller is used. The whiskey is reportedly named after a war cry, not based on a song by the former frontman of Generation X.
Rebel Yell has received prestigious awards, including a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2016 and a platinum medal at the SIP Awards in 2018. Its unique wheat recipe and rich history make it an exceptional bourbon for connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
The aromatic profile of the whiskey is full of hints of honey, vanilla, raisins, and woody notes. The flavor profile is a delicious combination of raisins and nectarines, along with hints of plums.
Bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 40% with a volume of 0.7 l.
Maker's Mark is a bourbon whiskey with an extra smooth taste and aroma. It was created by Master distiller Bill Samuels sr., who replaced rye with red winter wheat to reduce the burning sensation in the mouth.
The water used in production is iron-free and filtered through limestone. It is rich in calcium and magnesium. The whiskey ages in American virgin oak barrels, which provide its natural color. Each bottle is then hand-dipped in red wax.
