James E. Pepper Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey
100 proof 4+ years (Bottled in Bond) Bourbon James E. Pepper Distillery Lexington, KY $55 High rye with malted rye
Nose

Oaky with subtle smoky notes, rich vanilla and caramel, bright fruity character with hints of strawberry compote and classic bourbon aromatics.

Palate

Rich caramel and vanilla-forward middle, pronounced sweetness transitioning to a dry herbal rye finish with pleasant grip and structure.

Finish

Drying herbal rye spice that lingers cleanly with lingering sweetness fading to oak-driven close.

Noteworthy
A solid bottled-in-bond expression with excellent balance between rich mid-palate sweetness and crisp herbal rye-driven finish.
