About this bottle
Old Pepper Rye Single Barrel Cask 1021 is a Bourbon Enthusiast single-barrel pick sourced from the Old Pepper whiskey lineage tied to the historic James E. Pepper distilling name, aged a minimum of 10 years in new, charred American oak. That decade of barrel time is long for a rye and shows: oak, black pepper, and baking spice dominate, with a rich, full body carried at 90 proof rather than a standard 80. The finish runs long and smooth with a lingering sweetness under the spice. As a single-barrel selection, expect more intensity and less blending polish than a flagship rye.
How to drink Old Pepper Rye Single Barrel
Pour it neat first, then add a splash of water if the pepper spice runs too hot — a whiskey this old rewards a slow approach.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Old Pepper Rye Single Barrel Cask 1021?
Neat or with a single large ice cube in a rocks glass lets the aromatics open up; a tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn is best for nosing. Once opened, keep the bottle upright in a cool spot out of direct light — whiskey doesn't spoil, but it slowly loses aroma once the bottle is more than half empty, so it's best finished within a year or two.
How old is Old Pepper Rye Single Barrel Cask 1021?
It's aged a minimum of 10 years in new, charred American oak and bottled at 90 proof, both unusually high for a rye whiskey.
Where is Old Pepper Rye Single Barrel Cask 1021 produced?
It's produced in Kentucky.
What should I know about Old Pepper?
The Old Pepper name ties back to James E. Pepper, a historic Kentucky distilling family whose lineage the brand's whiskey is sourced from.
