James E Pepper 1776 Straight Rye Whiskey 70cl

James E Pepper 1776 Straight Rye Whiskey

A rye whiskey bottled under the reinvigorated James E Pepper label. James’s grandfather has a claim to having opened the first Kentucky Distillery in 1776, but the James Pepper brand really hit its height in the early part of the 20th century, although it had disappeared by the latter parts. It’s now back with this bourbon-esque, fruity rye whiskey.

• Burst of aromatic notes of spice, oak, and a subtle hint of orchard fruits
• Robust palate, accentuating the signature spiciness of rye, harmoniously intertwined with hints of caramel, vanilla, and a whisper of smoky oak
• Finish is smooth yet lingering
