This is a good buy for 29.99. I don't think this release will continue as is because Rebel will likely use different juice than Heaven Hill going forward. This is just my guess. Nose is really approachable. It gives off oak and pink bubble gum. It reminds me of good experiences as a kid packing my mouth with big league chew. There is a little hay stacked in a barn smell. Palate is really pleasant but simple as you might expect. Bubble gum follows through on the palate,or some people might say cotton candy. White or vanilla cake batter makes an appearance intermingling with some barrel char. There is a little honey and graham cracker. Palate is the star of the show on this one. Finish is simple with some sweet and concentrated vanilla, black pepper and a dusty sawdust remains at the very end of a pleasant finish.

Very nice bottle for under $40. I like to mix it with coke as well. If you like Jack or Russell’s and coke, youll like this bottle a lot.
Sweet smell. Caramel. Cotten candy. A good flavor profilenfor a 3 yr old bourbon. Great finsish.
Not as sweet as Rebel 100. Kind if an ethanol finish.
