Old Pepper Distillery Single Barrel Bourbon #19-332 - Selected by Seelbach's
Regular price
$59.99
Sale
Age: 4-Years 8-months
Proof: 109.8
Source: Distilled by James E Pepper Distilling, Lexington, KY
Mash bill: 80/8/12 Corn/Malted Rye/Malted Barley
Bottle count: 198 bottles
Tasting Notes: The nose leads with candied, perfumed, and slightly smoked leather, white grape, cherry coke, oak, and loads of caramel.
On the palate you’d never guess this was 4 years old. The palate continues with raisin, prune, date, while also having a slightly savory leather note, raspberry truffle, and caramel.
The finish is long and dry, deep with saturating dark fruits, walnut, cocoa powder but continuing on with a musty, leathery oak.
About: 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. Despite its mere 4-year aging, this cask-strength gem defies expectations, boasting a traditional yet refined profile bursting with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. As the company's aged expressions like the James E. Pepper Barrel Proof Decanter Bourbon hint at the promising future, it's clear that the legacy of this historic distillery is poised for a triumphant resurgence.
