Bourbon/Rye Review #12: Rebel Yell 10

Heaven Hill - 10 Years - Bourbon - 68C/20W/12M - Sample ($50)  - 50%

Color - Light Caramel

Nose - Corn, vanilla, brown sugar, maple, 

Taste - Sweet caramel, barrel char, red hot

Mouthfeel - Medium

Finish - Caramel, vanilla, corn syrup, cinnamon, spice, 

Finish Length - Medium

Overall -4/7 - This to me is a decent wheater but I just get a little too much cinnamon for my palate.  While it wasn't as over the top as Old Grand Dad 114, it just was distracting enough to make me not think about buying in a bar.
