75% Bloody Butcher corn, 20% malted rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Earthy and distinctive, with prominent truffle notes and citrus waft of orange peel. Cut hay in the fall, root vegetables, carrots, and a rich overall smell with subtle sweetness. The malted rye contributes a unique, earthy character that may be unfamiliar to some.
Palate
Nice creamy texture with sugar and cinnamon toasted cereal notes. Sweet oak flavor with a four-year-old rye body and well-represented bottled-in-bond character. Medium-length finish with lingering spice and toasty cinnamon crunch cereal notes.
Finish
Medium finish with lingering spice and toasted cinnamon crunch cereal character. Not a strong Kentucky hug but a persistent spice that sticks on the tongue.
Overall Score
3.8 / 5
Jeptha Creed's Bottled in Bond steps outside the box with its use of Bloody Butcher corn and malted rye, delivering a distinctive and well-crafted high-rye bourbon that rewards open-minded palates.
