Any ideas on Rebel Yell 2016 Limited Edition?

Welcome. Put it in the search and you'll find several discussions.

I can't find any?

Once it comes up under search hit "more search options", then hit the all content. That should do it.

Still only comes up with my post and 1 post about Four Roses limited which isn't applicable.

One of the local stores has quite a few bottles of it for $20.99 each and I know nothing of it . In fact can't find it on the Rebel Yell site either.

Does the label have "2016 limited edition" on it or is that the moniker that the store gave it? Rebel Yell released a 10yo, 100 proof, single barrel limited edition last year but it does not have 2016 on the label as far as I know (I realize this may seem pedantic, but with so many limited editions and new releases in the bourbon world currently, we tend to be pretty specific around here). For info on the 10yo Single Barrel product, see the two threads below. If this store has the 10yo Single Barrel for $20, that's less than half the going rate.

 

Also, welcome to SB.com!

For $20.99 a bottle is it worth picking up? Wish I could find a review...

Thanks. I have not seen that bottle before, unfortunately. A bit light on proof, but if you feel like taking a chance for $20, let us know how it is!

 

I should say that the current Rebel Yell brand doesn't have a very high reputation here. For the price, though, it may be be worth a shot.

Not having seen (or tasted) any Bourbon with this label on the bottle; but having tasted 'regular' RY; I'd be leary of buying it at any price. 

The 'Old' rebel yell from several years ago was only OK; but the newer stuff (last two or three years) hasn't been up that mediocre standard, at least to my taste buddies. 

I've yet to try any of the 10-yr SB, which apparently can be anywhere from OK to great, depending upon which barrel, and of course upon your own taste buds; but I'd like to.

I just wrote a post saying you should try it, but at $21 I'm not sure you mean the 10yr ltd edition. I'll leave this thread for someone who knows better.

The $21 is for the mysterious 2016 Limited Edition. It intrigued me but with the uncertainty  (no information anywhere online) I think I am going to pass.  Although, what's 20 bucks in the grand scheme of things?

A limited edition 80 proof bourbon for a brand that is a bottom shelf bourbon in its standard version.  It almost sounds like they were intentionally trying to confuse people between this and the 10 year single barrel or trying to imply something special about their standard version.

Just saw this bottle again in the store tonight. 

 

RY 2016 limited edition..?

 

any thoughts

I’m a little surprised by multiple people posting here trying to figure out if they should consider spending ~$20 on this bottle. It’s probably crap. But what else do you expect for $20 outside of a few BIBs that are exceptions to that? If you can’t afford to spend $20 on a bottle that is probably nothing special, then don’t. For many people,  a swing and a miss on a $20 bottle is no big deal and will probably just get poured in whiskey & cokes when those types of friends come over. It doesn’t have to be this hard......

[FacePlant]

This is a NO!

 

 

 

This is a YES. Of course there's the price difference of $20 or $75.
