Old Pepper 1776 Bottled In Bond Rye
Old Pepper 1776 Bottled in Bond Rye hails from the historic James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky, a storied site renowned for its legacy in rye whiskey. Crafted with 100% rye grain, this "Pure Rye" pays homage to the original recipes of Colonel James E. Pepper. Aged in new toasted and charred barrels made from Kentucky oak, seasoned for 18-24 months, it matures for a minimum of four years. Bottled at 100 proof, this whiskey embodies the heritage and precision of a Bottled in Bond designation, with its distilling season proudly displayed on the label.
On the palate, this rye is both complex and balanced, with vibrant notes of chocolate peppermint that meld seamlessly with the delicate sweetness of wildflower honey. The robust rye grain lends depth and spice, while the influence of the oak barrels provides warmth and subtle smokiness. Each sip offers a harmonious blend of flavors that is both traditional and intriguing, showcasing the distillery’s commitment to craftsmanship.
This whiskey shines when enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its nuanced profile. Its bold yet refined character also lends itself beautifully to classic rye-based cocktails like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, where its distinctive flavors elevate the experience.
