About this bottle

Rebel Yell French Barrel Special Finish is the brand's inaugural bourbon release outside of the United States. This Kentucky straight bourbon undergoes a six-month finishing period in toasted French oak wine barrels. Initially, only 6,000 bottles were produced, with the UK receiving its allocation in October 2019, followed by Italy and France.

Fletcher Broome 3.0

The aroma is sweet, with cherry and vanilla notes. On the palate, there's a touch of spice, more vanilla, and some dark fruits like stewed plums. The finish is remarkably dry for a bourbon, with a dusty dryness that was quite pleasing. Bourbon typically isn't my preference; it often feels too 'hot' and sweet for me. Nevertheless, I found this dram to be enjoyable. It's drier and more tannic than the usual bourbon, which, in my opinion, works in its favor.

Monty Bassett 4.0

A pleasantly rich taste. The finish is quite addictive. This was bought without knowing what it was, and I now regret not getting a second bottle.
