Process & Profile

Rebel X Kyle Busch Single Barrel Bourbon 108 Proof 2026 Limited Edition is the second annual single-barrel collaboration between Rebel Bourbon and two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. Created as part of Rebel Bourbon's partnership with Richard Childress Racing, every barrel for the 2026 release was personally selected by Busch with guidance from Rebel Master Distiller John Rempe.

Produced in Bardstown, Kentucky using Rebel's historic wheated bourbon recipe, the whiskey is aged for a full four years before being bottled at 108 proof. The proof pays tribute to Busch's No. 8 Chevrolet and Rebel's relationship with Richard Childress Racing.

Because this is a true single-barrel release, individual bottles may show subtle differences in flavor from barrel to barrel. Each bottle also displays its individual barrel number and fill date, reinforcing the collectible nature of the 2026 edition.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Caramel, vanilla, fresh oak, soft wheat sweetness, and gentle cinnamon spice

Palate: Rich caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baked sugar, and warming spice with a rounded wheated-bourbon character

Finish: Smooth and lingering with caramelized oak, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pleasant touch of spice

What Makes It Special

The 2026 Rebel X Kyle Busch release combines single-barrel bourbon with one of NASCAR's most recognizable drivers. Busch personally selected every barrel for the limited edition, making each bottling part of a specifically chosen collection rather than a standard Rebel Bourbon release.

Its presentation is equally distinctive. The bottle features a gold label with a checkered-flag pattern, Richard Childress Racing branding, Busch's No. 8 graphic, and Kyle Busch's signature. Individual barrel information is printed directly on the label, giving every barrel its own identity.

Bottled at 108 proof and released nationwide in limited quantities for 2026, this edition offers appeal for both wheated-bourbon drinkers and collectors of NASCAR and Kyle Busch memorabilia.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Rebel X Kyle Busch Single Barrel Bourbon neat to experience the individual character of the selected barrel. A splash of water can soften the 108-proof intensity and bring forward additional caramel and vanilla sweetness. It also works well over a large ice cube or in a higher-proof Old Fashioned.
