Flavor Profile Differences
Rye spice is the dividing line here.
- Jefferson's Tropics Aged in Humidity: Jefferson's sent barrels to the Singapore jungle for a year and a half, and the humidity shows. It is creamy and fruit-heavy, with tobacco, leather and baking spice running underneath.
- Rebel 100: A budget wheater at a useful proof. Sweet vanilla, honey and caramel with soft bread notes and very little rye bite.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Jefferson's Tropics Aged in Humidity if you want an unusual, tropical-aged bourbon with creamy fruit and tobacco.
- Go with Rebel 100 if you want a sweet, 100-proof wheater for mixing and easy sipping at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
