James E Pepper 1776 Straight Rye Whiskey
In stock
A straight Rye whiskey from the rejuvenated James E Pepper brand. With a history that can be traced back to the beginnings of Kentucky whiskey, the Pepper brand really hit the heights in the early part of the 20th century, although the brand fell on hard times and had disappeared by the end of the century. Now back with this flavourful whiskey, with notes of mint, cloves, eucalyptus, chocolate, and honey.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with coppery glints and a warm honey-gold glow.
Nose
Fresh mint opens the aroma with herbal brightness, followed by warming cloves and a cool eucalyptus lift. Dark chocolate adds depth, while honey threads through with subtle sweetness, finished by velvety rye spice.
Palate
Minty and peppery at the outset, with cloves and a cooling kiss of eucalyptus. The mid-palate reveals bittersweet chocolate swirled with honey, balancing spice with velvet sweetness. A full, silky mouthfeel leads to a long, elegant finish.
Finish
Long, aromatic finish with cool mint and clove notes, a subtle eucalyptus lift, and a thread of dark chocolate and honey. Warm rye spice lingers, enveloped in a creamy, honeyed glow.
