WhiskyJason reviews James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey


James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon isn't just a whiskey; it's a piece of history reborn. Released in 2023, this bourbon pays homage to a historic bottle produced at the distillery in 1945. The vintage-inspired design of the decanter showcases the colour of the whiskey, a testament to James E. Pepper's production methods, including a lower barrel entry proof and the selection of the barrel.

James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon represents a blend of older stocks and mash bills that include corn, rye, malted barley and malted rye. It is aged in new, toasted and charred Kentucky oak barrels, which are air-dried for a minimum of 18-24 months. This process, combined with water from the distillery's historic well, contributes to the whiskey's complexity. Distilled and bottled at the historic James E. Pepper Distillery (DSP-KY-5) in Lexington, Kentucky, this bourbon has an average age of 5.5 years and is bottled straight from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered, preserving its purest form.
