James E Pepper 1776 100 proof straight Bourbon 750 ml

James E. Pepper 1776 Straight Bourbon is bottled at 100 proof from James E. Pepper, a historic Kentucky whiskey brand dating back to the 19th century and revived in recent years, with the "1776" name referencing the brand's founding era claims. Expect a nose of dark caramel and oak spice, a bold, moderately rich palate with baking spice and vanilla, and a warm, lingering finish reflecting its higher proof. Like most whiskey at this level, it rewards a slow pour rather than a rushed one, so give it a minute in the glass before the first sip. It's built for bourbon drinkers who want a historically rooted brand at a higher-than-standard strength.
