About this bottle
James E. Pepper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey carries a name that goes back to one of Kentucky's oldest distilling families, now made at the James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. It's a straight bourbon built from corn, rye and malted barley, aged a minimum of four years in new charred oak, which is what earns it the straight designation. The nose leans into caramel and vanilla, the palate adds baking spice and a layer of oak, and the finish runs long and warm rather than sharp. It works neat for someone who wants to taste the wood, and it holds its own in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan for anyone who'd rather mix it.
How to drink James E. Pepper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Try it neat first — four years in new char gives it enough structure to taste on its own. It also makes a straightforward, honest Old Fashioned if you'd rather build a drink around it.
