Rebel Yell® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has added two new flavors to its current family lineup. Rebel Yell Ginger Whiskey and Rebel Yell Root Beer Whiskey, both bottled at 70 proof, will be available nationwide in April. These new flavors join the recently updated Rebel Yell family of corked 750ml bottles made of thicker glass, reinforcing the independent, rebellious spirit of the brand. 

“Whiskey is currently experiencing an explosive period of growth. The domestic whiskey category is up 4.1 percent; the flavored whiskey category is up 11.4 percent; and Rebel Yell continues to grow even faster, up 27.8 percent in the past 12 months*,” says Fletcher Buchman, brand manager at Luxco. “Innovative, on-trend flavors are a great way to introduce this time-honored brand to millennial whiskey drinkers and add more variety to our offerings.”

Rebel Yell Ginger Whiskey combines the smooth taste of Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with natural ginger for a refreshing and spicy finish – a great option for mule cocktails or to add a zesty twist. For a creamier flavor, Rebel Yell Root Beer Whiskey combines the great taste of Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with natural root beer flavor for a rich, velvety taste with a touch of spice.

Award-winning Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey dates back to 1849 and is known for its smooth-sipping, softer taste, offering hints of honey and butter followed by a warm finish with a touch of spiciness.
