Overview

More Info

James E. Pepper's story runs back to 1776, when a Lexington, Kentucky distiller named Colonel James E. Pepper built what was then the country's most advanced whiskey house—and later gets credit for popularizing the Old Fashioned. This 100-proof straight bourbon leans into a high-rye mash bill, unfiltered for full texture, with vanilla, honey, clove, and chocolate layered over classic bourbon sweetness and rye spice. Given Pepper's cocktail pedigree, an Old Fashioned feels like the obvious pour, though it holds up neat or over ice too.
