The Rebel Yell label was owned by Luxco in St. Louis, but the latest COLA for Rebel Yell comes from Paramount Distillers in Cleveland, which is also listed on the new label. Paramount, like Luxco, is a non-distiller that has a number of labels, though none very prominent.

Anyone have any info?
Let's ring up Chuck, maybe he knows something.
Not to be crass, but the color of that stuff looks like pee to me. I had some poured for me at a bar once, thought it was pee!
Turns out Luxco purchased Paramount, so maybe they just moved some operations to Ohio.
Luxco bought Paramount in 2011: http://www.crainscleveland.com/artic...FREE/110929941Quote:

Paramount did distill once upon of time. In fact, they made bourbon and other whiskey. Their master distiller was Charles Everett Beam. This was in the 1950s, before he went to Michter's. I'm pretty confident they don't make anything now.
Interesting that Meiers is part of it. I can remember seeing their products a lot growing up in Ohio, but I can't say that I ever bought any of them.
C.E. Beam was known for making some pretty tasty whiskey......
So I'm guessing eventhough there is a location change, it's still going to be the same bulk Heaven Hill stuff?
Didn't Mr. Everett create the Michter's mash bill?
I was told by a vendor we use for filters recently that nothing is distilled there.
