Let’s discuss Rebel 100 Straight Rye Whiskey, shall we?
First, a Lesson in Rye
Before discussing Rebel 100 Straight Rye Whiskey, we need to talk about “Rye 101.” Even if you’re a die-hard fan of bourbon, variety is the spice of life — and rye is a spice-forward type of whiskey that packs a punch. Bourbon and rye are types of whiskies, but there are a few key differences. Bourbon is made from mainly corn (at least 51%), while rye is made from (you guessed it) primarily rye grain. Rye grain is a mild flavor that’s earthy, nutty, and a bit malty. Adding it to whiskey can make it bold, full-bodied, and spicy.
Rye whiskey was first distilled back in 1750 in Pennslyvania before bourbon whiskey became the whiskey of choice in America.
A Rye That Breaks the Mold
Rebel 100 Straight Rye Whiskey isn’t your run-of-the-mill bottle. This rye has a backbone (and a whole lot of flavor). It’s full-bodied, bold, and perfectly balances sweetness with spice. You’ll definitely taste notes of spice and rye on the front, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how well it opens up with notes of rich vanilla on the back. It’s a rye that’s perfect to drink neat, on the rocks, in a cocktail, or as a shot.
The 100 part? Yeah, that’s the proof. You’ll feel it, but you’ll also be surprised at how smooth that 100 will be.
