Whiskey Review: Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye

, it’s surprisingly easy drinking, much spicier in taste than nose. It’s young, medium-bodied. Not heavily rye-tasting. It finishes easily, even a little eagerly. Rebel Yell is aiming to please a crowd, and to do so inoffensively. And really, is that such a bad thing? If this whiskey were a TV show, it would be, maybe…Wings? And we all kind of liked Wings, right? Like for background noise? Or if there was nothing else to do? The Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye retails around $27 (you can hunt down a bottle through online retailers if you like here), and I’d give it a score of 77, largely for its ability to easily succeed in an ensemble cocktail. It’s simple yet versatile. P.S. I have to say the recipe on their site for the Rebel Yell looks kind of awesome. Do I have to hand over my tasting license?
