Rebel X Kyle Busch Single Barrel Bourbon 108 Proof 2026 Release

Rebel X Kyle Busch Single Barrel Bourbon is a 108 proof Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Rebel Bourbon, distilled using the brand's wheated bourbon recipe and bottled at 54% ABV after four years of aging. This is the second annual single-barrel collaboration between Rebel Bourbon and NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, with the bold 108 proof chosen as a nod to his No. 8 Chevrolet. It's a limited-edition bourbon built for collectors and everyday bourbon fans alike who want something with a little extra punch and a genuinely fun story behind the label.

Rebel Bourbon distills in Bardstown, Kentucky, the heart of bourbon country, using a wheated mash bill that trades the typical rye spice for a softer, sweeter backbone. This particular barrel was hand-selected by Kyle Busch himself, working alongside Rebel Master Distiller John Rempe, as part of the brand's ongoing partnership with Richard Childress Racing. Because it's a true single-barrel bottling, each bottle carries its own individual barrel number and may show slight variation in flavor from barrel to barrel, which is half the fun of drinking single-barrel bourbon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Rebel X Kyle Busch Single Barrel Bourbon different from regular Rebel Bourbon?

It's a true single-barrel release hand-selected by Kyle Busch himself, bottled at a higher 108 proof compared to Rebel Bourbon's standard offerings, with each bottle carrying its own individual barrel number.

Is this bourbon good for cocktails or better sipped neat?

It's versatile enough for both — the wheated mash bill gives it enough sweetness to sip neat or on the rocks, while the higher proof means it holds up beautifully in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

Why is this bourbon bottled at 108 proof?

The 108 proof is a tribute to Kyle Busch's No. 8 Chevrolet and his partnership with Richard Childress Racing, making the proof point as much a part of the story as the whiskey itself.

Will every bottle taste exactly the same?

Not necessarily — since this is a single-barrel bourbon, subtle flavor differences can occur from barrel to barrel, which is part of what makes single-barrel releases special for collectors.

Is this a good value for a limited-edition bourbon?

Yes, at under $60 this is a strong value for a four-year-aged, single-barrel wheated bourbon with a genuine collaboration story and higher proof.
