The spirits of Christmas past
(NC)-Everything old is new again as bourbon makes its way on to guest lists across the province this holiday season. One of the best buys of the season is Rebel Yell bourbon, a smooth tasting spirit that many aficionados consider the archetype of bourbon character, with a price reminiscent of holidays past.
While quality bourbons such as Rebel Yell, prefer no mix, their rounded vanilla top note and long finish offer a rich base for many cocktails. The hint of dark fruit such as plums and raisins round out the big flavour, giving Rebel Yell bourbon its signature taste. Indulge in the rich velvety tastes of yesteryears with these traditional bourbon-based cocktail favourites:
