Product Description
Meet a bourbon that honors the past while raising the bar for modern whiskey – the James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon is as much a piece of history as it is a top-shelf sipping experience. Inspired by an original 1945 James E. Pepper decanter, the bottle alone makes a statement – sleek, vintage, and perfectly designed to show off the bourbon’s rich color.
Behind the glass is a bourbon crafted with exceptional care at the historic James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky – one of the oldest DSPs in the country. The mash bill includes corn, rye, malted rye, and malted barley, bringing complexity and spice. The barrels? Toasted and charred Kentucky oak, seasoned in the open air for up to two years before housing the spirit for more than five years of aging.
Bottled straight from the barrel with no dilution or filtration, this bourbon is a true showcase of character. Each sip opens with warm, toasty oak and a hint of walnut, followed by layers of dried dark fruits, marzipan, and spice. The finish is smooth but bold – notes of vanilla cream, orange peel, and a dusting of nutmeg round out the profile.
This isn’t just a bottle of whiskey – it’s a celebration of American distilling heritage. Whether you’re a collector, a bourbon aficionado, or shopping for a standout gift, the Decanter Barrel Proof is a worthy addition to any shelf.
