James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Selected by Seelbach's

Age: 6 Years old

Mash Bill: 51% corn , 49% rye

Proof: 109 Proof

Tasting Notes: The nose opens with sweet maple butter on cornbread pancakes, almond liqueur, maraschino cherries, butter-toffee chip cookies, and elegant sweet oak.

The palate is absolutely crushable, with creamy butter pecan ice cream, dried cherry and cranberry, and loads of rich, spiced, sugar-coated damp oak. Reminiscent of Woodford Batch Proof, it continues with chewy sweet pecans and silky caramel.

The finish highlights more of the aged oak note, perfectly balanced with milk chocolate, spiced almonds, and more of those cranberry and cherry notes, though this leans much more toward caramelized sugar than fruit.
