Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye is a 2 year MGP rye bottled by Luxco. How do I know that it's a MGP rye? Because - shock and awe - they actually followed the TTB labeling guidelines and put ?Distilled and Aged in Indiana Bottled by Rebel Yell Distillery? and MGP is the Indiana based source for rye whiskey. Being a MGP rye I was pretty sure I knew what I was in for without even cracking the bottle open... but I'm glad I did. It's a bit sweeter and rounder than Bulleit rye, which is probably the most well known MGP rye on the market these days (unless you count the liars at Templeton that is). Despite being only 2 years old it has a nicely developed flavor and aroma that might be lacking depth, but is bold and solid. The more well developed young ryes I try the more I'm convinced of the words of Frtiz Maytag ?You are all going to discover the beauty of young rye whiskey?.Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye Info Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye Review EYEToasted bread NOSEOily dilly rye spice and citrus come through first accompanied by a dark candy sweetness and a bit of an herbal nature. It's not deep or complex, but it's nice. PALATERye spice, dill, citrus, caramel and a sugar cookie sweetness with a touch of vanilla. The palate is a bit more complex and well rounded than the nose and I'm a bit surprised at how well developed this is for it's youth. FINISHMedium fade of rye spice, dill and sweetness that fades to a dry saw dust like flavor. BALANCE, BODY & FEELGood balance, medium body and a smooth texture.
