“Kyle and the RCR team stand out as real rebels, doing things their own way with a defiant attitude to drive to win, and that lifestyle is what Rebel Bourbon is all about,” Philip Lux, Rebel Bourbon brand manager, says.

“Every bottle of our new Rebel Single Barrel is a one-of-a-kind, made in tribute to that rebel spirit in Kyle and all of us.”

This is the third year Rebel Bourbon has teamed up with Richard Childress Racing and driver Kyle Busch to launch a whiskey. This highly collectable bottle features a gold label with a checkered flag, the No. 8 graphic, and Busch’s signature.

“I’m proud to have my name and the No. 8 on every bottle, and I think fans are really going to enjoy it,” says Busch.

The special edition expression will be available this month at whiskey retailers for the suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750ml bottle.
