Old Pepper Malt Whiskey
100 proof 3+ years Single Malt Old Pepper Distillery Lexington, KY $45 100% malted barley with Scottish peated malt (~10%)

Baked bread and walk-in-humidor quality. Caramel and vanilla notes develop. Subtle peat character emerges on extended nosing. Some musty, warehouse-like character present.

Mouth-coating texture suggesting minimal or no chill filtration. Dark stewed fruits, raisin, and molasses. Some tobacco notes. Mild spice and heat on the mid-palate.

Lingering spice and peat warmth with continuing molasses and dark fruit character.

Above average
A richly textured malt whiskey with compelling depth, dark fruit complexity, and tobacco undertones—excellent with a cigar.
