Sale
Age: 6 Year
Proof: 106.4 proof
Barrel: Kelvin Char 3
Source: Distilled by James E Pepper Distilling, Lexington, KY
Mash bill: 80/8/12 Corn/Malted Rye/Malted Barley
Tasting Notes: The nose is nuanced with wafts of smoke and leather. It reminds me a bit of Beam with its grassy, earthy, melted milk chocolate before moving into toffee and thick caramel, blanketing with raisin and a touch of apricot.
The finish is chewy and plump, not quite medicinal but sort of leans that way with a fruity, leather, oaky, citrus amalgamation that reminds me most closely of Wild Turkey.
About the product: The Old Pepper Distillery, with its storied past and DSP-KY-5 designation dating back to 1780, holds a captivating history within its walls. Founded by James E. Pepper, a distilling legacy spanning generations, its legacy endured until 1906 with his passing, only to face closure in 1958 amid adversity. However, in 2008, a resurgence ignited when Amir Peay of Georgetown Trading Co. took the reins, reviving the brand's essence. While initially reliant on sourced whiskeys from MGP, a recent shift toward proprietary distillation marks a pivotal transition. Enter the James E. Pepper Single Barrel Bourbon, a testament to craftsmanship with its distinctive mash bill featuring 12% malted barley and 8% malted rye, lending a nuanced sweetness and remarkable balance.
