Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2003
The Rebel Yell brand was created for Stitzel-Weller distillery in the late 1940s by Charles R. Farnsely, a former mayor of Louisville, KY. The brand was first bottled around the distillery's 100th anniversary, with the intention of producing and distributing it in small batches, exclusively in the Southern states.
Following the sale of Stitzel-Weller by the Van Winkle family 1972, it eventually came into the hands of United Distillers (now Diageo) who opted to make the brand available more widely, but their decision not to remove the confederate flag from its label meant resulted in poor sales outside the US. They eventually unloaded the product to David Sherman, now known as Luxco, who bottled this in 2003 using sourced whiskey from Heaven Hill.
Luxco have however recently opened the Lux Row distillery, and at some point in the future will bottle Rebel Yess using their own bourbon.
