Flavor Explosion! Rebel Root Beer & Butter Pecan Tasting

Rebel Root Beer Float? Lux Row Distillers Just Changed the Game! 🥃🍦 Is it a soda? Is it a bourbon? It’s both! Today on Your Bourbon Journey, Wayne and Rebecca are getting a little "rebellious" with two brand-new releases from Lux Row Distillers that are shaking up the flavored whiskey world. We’re diving into the newly re-released Rebel Root Beer Whiskey (back and better than ever in 2026!) and the limited-edition Rebel Butter Pecan Cream Liqueur. Watch as we taste them individually and then perform a "distillery-authorized" science experiment by mixing them into the ultimate Adult Root Beer Float. If you're a fan of Barq’s, sarsaparilla, or just creamy wheated bourbon, you won’t want to miss this Fun Friday tasting. Is it too sweet, or is it the perfect dessert pour? Let’s find out! ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney ❌YOUR BOURBON JOURNEY DOES NOT SELL ALCOHOL❌ Rebel Root Beer Whiskey Classification: Flavored Whiskey (specifically, a Bourbon-based liqueur) Company: Luxco (parent company of Lux Row) Distillery: Lux Row Distillers (Bardstown, KY) Mash Bill: Wheat Bourbon mash bill (historically approximately 68% Corn, 20% Wheat, 12% Malted Barley) The use of a wheated bourbon base generally makes this specific root beer expression creamier and softer on the palate compared to rye-based flavored whiskeys.
