Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- Rebel 100: A budget wheater at a useful proof. Sweet vanilla, honey and caramel with soft bread notes and very little rye bite.
- Four Roses Single Barrel: The OBSV recipe on its own at 100 proof — the highest-rye mash Four Roses uses, paired with their most floral yeast. Cherry and clove in equal measure, and a genuinely distinctive glass.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Rebel 100 if you want a sweet, 100-proof wheater for mixing and easy sipping at a lower price point.
- Go with Four Roses Single Barrel if you want the most expressive, spice-and-fruit-forward single recipe in the Four Roses range.
Best enjoyed rocks, old-fashioned, cocktails (Rebel 100); neat, old-fashioned (Four Roses Single Barrel).
