I saw this bottle in my favorite
position of the store – the bottom shelf, and I was instantly drawn back in
time. It’s been over a year since I’ve had the Yell and I couldn’t remember
what it tasted like, but the bottle itself just reminded me of good times. This was
one of the first bourbons I really tried, so I can say that even as a very
amateur bourbon-drinker this one was inoffensive. Sipping it again, it’s clear why I’ve
always liked this whiskey, and I’m proud to award it my highest score yet with
a 4 star rating.

Smells sweet, tastes
good…this is a great budget bourbon.
This is the kind of drink I started
searching for when I first opened the blog. It’s definitely a little strange
for me that the drink I’m complimenting so strongly here is one that I’ve had
many times before (and simply forgot about,) but I’m just glad to have it back
in my life. Every other bourbon I’ve tried for the blog had a watery quality
that clearly marked it as a cheaper drink, but Rebel Yell somehow avoids this. Instead the Yell comes in with
good flavor and a small bite right away, preparing you for a very decent
whiskey at a reasonable price.
The more I drink this whiskey, the
easier it goes down…although this isn’t a particularly unique quality for any
bourbon, this particular drink is smooth every sip
you have, from your first taste of the night to the hundredth. It goes down easy, you can bring this drink anywhere (more portable skinny bottle,) it's tasty, and it has just the right burn. It doesn’t have quite the
flavor that more expensive bourbons do, but you just can’t beat Rebel Yell at
this price.
PROS
Smells
good, tastes better
Right amount
of burn
CONS
Lacks
the depth of flavor that more expensive bourbons have
AND?
This
bourbon has good taste, it smells nice, and it’s cheap. You’re not going to
beat Rebel Yell without spending more money.
