Rebel Single Barrel Bourbon (Barrel-7633391 - KRAVEN) - Bourbon Pursuit & Keg N Bottle Private Barrel Pick 750 ml

About This Item

OVERVIEW:

On May 18th, 2021 Kenny, Ryan, Paul, and Jason met up at Mammy's Kitchen & Bar in Bardstown for their traditional Pre-Selection meal.  They needed to make sure they had a full belly, as they got ready to select a whopping 6 barrels from a total of 12 samples (3 Ezra's, and 3 Rebels).

All of the samples were contract distilled by Heaven Hill and were between 4 & 5 years old at the time of selection and ranged in proof from 122-128 (Ezra barrelled in Spring 2016, and Rebel barrelled in Spring 2017).  The team had no problem isolating 6 terrific barrels and was so impressed by how well the barrels were drinking at that age.  We hope you enjoy collecting all 6.

Mashbills (Contract distilled by Heaven Hill), Bottling Proof 120

• Ezra Brooks:  78%. Corn, 10% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
• Rebel:  68% Corn, 20% Wheat, 12% Malted Barley

Tasting Notes

• Nose - The nose is syrupy sweet with canned pear, bright yet fresh-baked apple pie, cherry, and lingering dry oak. It smells like it will be a bruiser and I’m so ready for it.
• Taste - Flavors surge across the palate, dense and chewy and sweet and spiced all in one. Rich spiced vanilla draws down the tongue and leaves a beautiful Kentucky Hug with every sip. 
  
• Finish - Round, fruit toned, sweet oak with layered apple, caramel, coconut and vanilla continue on repeat in a long, playback linger. This has it all.
