James E. Pepper “1776” Straight Rye Whiskey

Elijah Pepper began distilling whiskey at the dawn of the American Revolution and during the War of 1812, he built the first log cabin distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. Eventually, he passed the family business on to his son, Oscar, and then on to his grandson, James E. Pepper.

This rye is bottled at 100 proof, with over 90% Rye in the Mash Bill as an homage to a whiskey produced since the dawn of the American Revolution.

Complex and flavorful, it drinks great neat with notes of mint, cloves, eucalyptus, chocolate, & honey to savor.
