A wheated, single-barrel bourbon finished on mocha staves—this cask-strength Rebel release leans dessert-forward while retaining classic barrel intensity. Expect deep chocolate influence balanced by a soft wheated backbone.
Description
The wheated mash delivers a plush, approachable body that the mocha stave finish elevates into richer, darker notes. At cask strength and chosen as a single-barrel pick, the finish becomes pronounced without overwhelming the base spirit’s caramel and vanilla virtues.
Enjoy slowly to appreciate the evolving interplay between sweet chocolate, vanilla warmth, and oak structure.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Dark chocolate and caramel rounded by gentle vanilla and toasted oak.
- Palate: Smooth caramel and creamy vanilla lead into rich mocha and cocoa tones with a soft wheated texture.
- Finish: Lingering cocoa and oak, with a warm, slightly bittersweet close.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
The mocha stave finish is a distinguishing touch that turns a classic wheated bourbon into a dessert-style sipper, amplified by single-barrel selection and cask-strength intensity—ideal for those seeking a more decadent bourbon experience.
