Rebel Bourbon Tawny Port Finish, is said to deliver a balanced aroma of sweetness, nuttiness and earthy notes on the nose, followed by notes of toffee, mocha, dried citrus, dark red fruits and spices on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, John Rempe, Master Distiller at
Lux Row Distillers, said: “The Tawny Port flavours pair really well with Rebel
Bourbon’s vanilla, oak and caramel profile. It’s a winning combination that
creates a distinct, depth of rich flavours that’s unlike anything else in the
Rebel family, whilst still retaining the Kentucky Straight Bourbon’s remarkably
smooth finish. The secondary finishing elevates the original four-year ageing
of Rebel in new charred white oak barrels, taking it to a different level that
more years in the rackhouse wouldn’t achieve.”
Rebel Bourbon Tawny Port Finish, will be available from
specialist retailers from November, for a RRP of £39.00.
