Rebel 100 Straight Rye Whiskey, produced by Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky, has a mash bill of 51% rye, 45% corn and 4% malted barley. Aged for at least four years, it is bottled at 100 proof and available in 750 ml bottles with a suggested retail price of $20.
This rye is a straightforward sipper that isn't overly complex, with a moderate flavor profile of well balanced earthy rawness. It offers a medium to long, dry finish with a texture that's slightly more grainy than smooth.
Rebel 100 Rye Whiskey doesn’t exactly set the world on fire, but it’s a bold, assertive, sweet dram that should function just fine in a cocktail capacity. At this price point, there’s nothing more you can ask of it. Just enjoy the value while you can get it.
