Rebel — Lux Row Distillers

For those who enjoy a classic bourbon, there’s a new release to look out for: the brand Lux Row Distillers is bringing out a limited edition release of Rebel 10 year old single barrel bourbon.

Rebel Bourbon is known for its classic Kentucky bourbon, coming from Bardstown, Kentucky where the distillery opened in 2018. Formerly known as Rebel Yell, the brand has a long history dating back to the 1930s and has been name-checked by celebrities from The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards to Billy Joel.

The new release uses a classic wheated recipe from the 1840s and is bottled one barrel at a time, promising to deliver vanilla and dark fruits along with citrus and oak for a smooth, spicy drink. Each bottle of the limited edition release will be marked with a barrel number and a date indicating how long it has been aged.

The Rebel 10-year has also been submitted for awards, winning a Double Platinum at the American Spirits Council of Tasters (ASCOT) Awards. Rebel releases limited editions annually, using single casks and a high abv of 50% to create a distinctive experience.

“This annual Rebel 10-Year Single Barrel shows how Rebel is bridging the gap between its heritage and modern tastes,” said Lux Row Distillers Master Distiller John Rempe. “I think consumers will appreciate the hand-crafted single barrel process when they experience the robust, rebellious flavor and mature finish of this extra smooth sipping whiskey.”

The Rebel 10 year single barrel bourbon will be released later this month, for $100 for a 750 ml bottle.

Buffalo Trace is probably the biggest name in whiskey -- if not the biggest name in rare spirits -- and it is responsible for iconic and highly desirable releases like Pappy Van Winkle which have collectors tripping over themselves to get their hands on a bottle. Last year, Buffalo Trace released the oldest expression yet of its Eagle Rare bourbon, in a batch of just 200 bottles that were snapped up immediately.

Now, there's an even rarer version of Eagle Rare for collectors to salivate over: The very first bottle of the expression, numbered "one," which is currently up for auction. The auction started at a substantial $10,000, and has already climbed to an eye-watering $28,000 on the auction site BlockBar.

Even if you're a whiskey enthusiast, one spirit you might not be super familiar with is rye whiskey. Often considered whiskey's spicier, more peppery cousin, rye is beloved by cocktail fans thanks to its starring roles in cocktails like the Sazerac or the Manhattan. But it can be a great choice to drink neat as well, especially if you prefer whiskeys which are on the sweeter and spicier side.

Now, a new rye whiskey from Bespoken Spirits is hitting the market. Known as The Epic, it comes in at a hefty 114 proof to carry its rich flavors of citrus peel, marshmallow, pumpernickel, and brown sugar.
