Rebel 100 6-Year Bourbon: A Unique Wheated Bourbon
Introduction
Lux Row Distillers, a renowned Kentucky-based distillery, has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of Rebel 100 6-Year Bourbon. This exceptional wheated bourbon boasts an impressive six-year aging process and a distinct flavor profile.
Aged to Perfection
Rebel 100 6-Year Bourbon is carefully aged for six years in new charred oak barrels. This extended aging process allows the bourbon to develop a complex and nuanced character, while also ensuring its smoothness and maturity.
