🌡 110 proof
🌾 Traditional Wheated
🍍 4 Years Aged
🍯🍯🍯 Honey, Vanilla, Caramel
🍅🍪🍰🌵 Dark Fruit, Caramel, Vanilla, Spice
💲 $34.99 per 750ml

The Master Distiller at Lux Row, John Rempe, has personally chosen the finest barrels for this release. The bourbon originates from Rebel’s traditional wheated mash bill, aged for four years. Notably, this batch has been bottled at a robust 110 proof, aimed at delivering an intensified flavor profile compared to its counterparts.

Rebel Small Batch Reserve is distinguished by its rich aromatic profile, including hints of honey, vanilla, and caramel. On the palate, it presents a complex array of dark fruit, caramel, and vanilla, coupled with robust tones from the barrel. The experience culminates in a warm finish accented by a touch of light spice.

This bourbon is more than just a drink; it’s a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship. It represents a blend of the old and the new, taking the time-honored wheated recipe from 1849 and presenting it in a small-batch, higher-proof format. The result is a bold yet smooth bourbon that’s expected to resonate well with enthusiasts.

Set for limited distribution, Rebel Small Batch Reserve will be available at selected retailers across the country later this month. Priced at $34.99 for a 750ml bottle, it offers a premium bourbon experience that’s accessible to a wide range of consumers.

Lux Row Distillers continues to honor the tradition and innovation of bourbon-making with this latest release, promising a unique and enjoyable experience for bourbon lovers. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Rebel or new to the brand, the Rebel Small Batch Reserve is set to offer a distinct and memorable bourbon experience.

Cigar Humidor Comparison

Model Dimensions (inches) Storage Capacity Price
HS-9000 75.6 x 24.4 x 27 2,000-2,500 cigars $3,799.99
HS-9100 49.6 x 24.2 x 22.8 1,000-1,500 cigars $2,999.99

The HS-9000 stands at 75.6 x 24.4 x 27 inches, providing a substantial storage capacity that ranges between 2,000-2,500 cigars. This larger model is available at a retail price of $3,799.99.

Key to both models is their advanced humidification system, which is regulated via a digital panel. This system is connected to a large water reservoir and a self-regulating air-cooling circulation system, ensuring optimal conditions for cigar preservation with minimal maintenance. The company advises that the water tank requires simple cleaning every two months and refills with distilled water.

Storage in these humidors is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Spanish cedar pull-out drawers are designed for single cigars, while boxes can be accommodated on pull-out shelves. Further enhancing the user experience are features such as double-pane, UV-protected glass doors, interior LED lighting, a lock-and-key set, recessed handles, and adjustable leveling feet.

Jimmy Miudo, executive vice president of product design, sourcing, and business intelligence at Quality Importers, emphasized the convenience of these units, noting that they allow cigar enthusiasts to spend more time enjoying their cigars with an easy-to-maintain system.
