Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a honey-gold glow.

Nose

A mint-forward, rye-spice aroma opens with clove and eucalyptus, cool and vibrant. Dark chocolate and honey weave through, adding richness and a subtle barrel-aged sweetness.

Palate

Bold and expressive on the palate, this rye leads with bright mint and eucalyptus, backed by ample spice and cloves. Rich chocolate and honey weave through the mid-palate, while barrel-proof warmth amplifies depth and texture. A creamy mouthfeel lingers into a long, peppery finish that showcases the rye’s undeniable punch.

Finish

Long, warming finish with a bright rye snap of mint and spice, entwined with cloves and eucalyptus. Dark chocolate and honey echo as the heat slowly fades, leaving a peppery, oaked glow that lingers and softly fades.

The Pepper family brand of whiskey is an iconic Kentucky whiskey brand initially produced during the American Revolution and continued through 1967. The family built and operated two main distilleries: first founding the site that today hosts the Woodford Reserve Distillery, and later the James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. In the late 1960s the bourbon industry hit hard times, and both the brand and distillery in Lexington were abandoned for over half a century.
