Description
The Pepper family brand of whiskey is an iconic Kentucky whiskey brand initially produced during the American Revolution and continued through 1967. The family built and operated two main distilleries: first founding the site that Woodford Reserve Distillery sits on today, and later the James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. In the late 1960s, the bourbon industry hit hard times, and both the brand and distillery in Lexington were abandoned for over half a century.
In 2008 the brand was relaunched by whiskey entrepreneur Amir Peay. A decade-long campaign of thorough historical research and collection of historic materials was used to retell the lost story of this iconic American whiskey brand and to distill new stocks of “Pepper” whiskey. To initiate the relaunch of the brand, partnerships with the Lawrenceburg Distillery in Indiana and the Bardstown Bourbon Co. in Kentucky were formed.

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Rich, chewy nougat, dark rye, hard salty pretzels, some dill, black pepper, and a bit of citrus zest on the nose. The palate is oily with apple & peach chai spice mixed alongside that peppery rye spice. The finish is long with oily vanilla and pepper all throughout the mouth.
Charles’ Tasting Notes:
Nose – herbal rye, apricot, caramel
Palate – thick, mouth-coating, bright, vanilla, rye spice, oak, a true rye experience
Finish – lingers, red dark fruit, spice
