If you’re anything like us, even though you love the warming sweetness of a classic bourbon, sometimes you want to sip on something a little different. That’s where bourbon cream comes in. It’s perfect way to add a little boozy kick to your morning coffee (especially at a fall tailgate) or sip neat or on the rocks. And while you can’t go wrong with a classic bourbon cream, the folks at Rebel Bourbon just launched something special for the fall.

Rebel Butter Pecan Bourbon Cream

Instead of simply launching a bourbon cream, popular brand Rebel Bourbon is releasing Rebel Butter Pecan Bourbon Cream. This 30-proof whiskey liqueur is a blend of the distillery’s popular wheated bourbon and an all-natural cream.

According to Rebel Bourbon, this complex bourbon cream begins with a nose of sweet bourbon, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and buttery pecans. The palate is a warm, indulgent mix of toasted vanilla beans and roasted pecans. The finish is long, warm, and ends with hints if candied pecans and sticky toffee.

“We used our award-winning bourbon for the foundation and gave it a unique twist to create Rebel Butter Pecan Bourbon Cream,” Rebel Bourbon Master Distiller John Rempe said.

“With a warm wheated finish, it’s smooth enough to sip on its own or enjoy as a bold and decadent complement to coffee or Rebel Bourbon cocktails.”

Where can I buy it?

Rebel Butter Pecan Bourbon Cream will be available this September at Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky and at retailers throughout the US for the suggested retail price of $19.99 for a 750ml bottle.

The flavor secrets behind high-rye bourbon every whiskey lover should know
What exactly is high-rye bourbon?
Whiskey in a glass

Bourbon whiskey has some specific rules. First of all, it must be made in the US (this includes Washington DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico) and not just in Kentucky (even though 95% of bourbon whiskey is produced there). In addition to several other requirements, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn. The common secondary grains include barley, wheat, and rye. And while we could get into the various flavors each secondary grain brings to the table, today is all about rye—specifically, high-rye bourbon.

If you’re anything like me, when I first heard the term “high-rye” bourbon, I wasn’t entirely sure what it meant. In the simplest terms, it’s a bourbon made with a large percentage of rye after the initial corn. But it’s so much more complex than that.

The angel’s share explained: The whiskey term every fan should know
What is "angel's share"?
Whiskey barrels

The whiskey world is loaded with unique, unusual, and sometimes confusing terms. We’re talking about phrases like “bunghole,” “sour mash,” “wash,” and the mysterious “angel’s share.” And while we could get into all of these terms (and more), today is the day to take a deeper dive into the latter.

I’ve been writing about alcohol for almost twenty years. The first time I visited a distillery (likely in Kentucky or Tennessee, although I can’t remember), one of the first things that was explained to me when visiting the barrelhouse was the idea of the angel’s share.
