Bardstown, Kentucky’s Rebel Bourbon is no stranger to car racing fans. The Official Bourbon of Richard Childress Racing has already launched a bourbon with two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kyle Busch. Now, it’s set to add to the racing-centric portfolio with a bourbon finished in wine barrels from Childress Vineyards.
Rebel 100 Childress Vineyards Cabernet Franc Barrel Finish
This limited-release expression begins as a wheated bourbon that’s matured for four years before being finished in Childress Vineyards Cabernet Franc barrels. The result is a 100-proof whiskey with flavors like “sweet plums, honey, and bright berries.”
“We selected the Cabernet Franc barrels from Childress Vineyards because we wanted to craft a smooth, high-proof bourbon with tasting notes of sweet berry, oak, caramel, vanilla, and spice,” Lux Row Distillers Master Distiller John Rempe said.
“Cabernet Franc was the perfect match for our wheated Rebel recipe, and the result is incredible.”
“From racing to winemaking, Richard and the RCR team embody the true spirit of being a Rebel,” Rebel Bourbon Brand Manager Philip Lux said.
“We’re proud to once again team up with RCR and create a unique bourbon that is sure to make racing fans, wine lovers, and bourbon aficionados take notice.”
Where can I buy it?
This limited-edition expression will be available at North Carolina ABC stores and at Lux Row Distillers starting this month for the suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750ml bottle.
