Worlds Best Single Barrel Bourbon – Whisky Magazine
Since 1849, Rebel has boasted an original, award-winning recipe has been made using only the purest Kentucky limestone-filtered water and new charred white oak barrels for aging. This gives them a distinct advantage over most everyone.
When I was down at Lux Row in January, I couldn’t wait to pick out my own single barrel of their Cask Strength Wheated Bourbon.
What is a wheated bourbon you ask? Well it’s a bourbon that uses wheat instead of rye to mix with the corn in the mashbill. There are a few bourbons that come from Kentucky that use wheat in their mashbills. Perhaps you’ve heard of a few of them, Weller, Old Fitzgerald, oh & Pappy Van Winkle. I love a wheated bourbon because they deliver more depth of flavor & an almost creamy mouth feel.
My single barrel from Rebel is much different from the single barrel Cask Strength that Rebel usually puts into the market. This is a 120 Proof beauty that was born in March of 2017. I love the way this one came together. The molasses, gingerbread, vanilla, oak and spice combination here is so smooth and effortless. This is a beauty.

An absolute gem that we picked out and bottled at 109 Proof. This is why I love high proof bourbon so you can adjust it yourself. I promise you will never taste a bottle like this on your liquor store shelf. This is literally what the Bourbon Buyers Club is all about. My notes on my pick & they are a little “fuzzy” are a combo of sweet vanilla, caramelized banana, graham cracker with a super long velvety finish. This is going to be a hit – I’m guaranteeing it.
This project has become one of my favorite things. Sending Eddie Russell’s Reserve Bourbon barrels down to Jalisco, Mexico to Espolon where fill them with their knockout Añejo Tequila. Then they send me back a barrel of our very own Tequila, with so many intricacies that separate it from any other I’ve tasted. All for a price that’s better than a regular bottle of good Tequila! Great on its own but surprisingly really enjoyable with food as well.
Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.
I once again found myself with one of the more and limited bottlings from the good people at Michter’s It comes in a round 111 Proof and is a monster from one of the best distilleries out there. This bottling is usually between 107 and 112 Proof but isn’t made every year (only in the good years). It’s oozing with seductive aromas of Cinnamon, rye spice, chocolate and freshly baked gingerbread. Cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of Cayenne pepper mixed with charred sugar and oak explode out of the bottle and greet you head on. I wish I had more than six of these beauties to pass out. Such is life.
