Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I must admit, I do have a weakness for cheap booze. Well, my wallet does anyway. But Rebel Yell is the real deal: cheap as sin ($16 for a handle (1.75 ml) in NH on sale, $20 when not on sale) and actually drinkable. It's surprisingly smooth, with a sweet flavor, and almost none of the nasty lingering bad-alcohol taste of most cheap booze. I'm not saying it's my favorite bourbon to drink neat, but it's not bad on the rocks. Certainly compared to other cheap bourbons, it sticks out head and shoulders above. There's cheaper whiskeys, but at $13 a bottle (750 ml) in Massachusetts, there's few that approach the price and none that approach the value. Great for mixing, as well.
