Pepper 1776 Straight Bourbon is a high-rye straight bourbon whiskey with over 38% rye in the mash bill, non-chill filtered and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1780, during the American Revolution, the Pepper family brand is the oldest brand of whiskey made in Kentucky. Its scion, Colonel James E. Pepper, fondly called it Old 1776, and some of the most important events and people in bourbon history had a connection to the family. The original Pepper Distillery closed its doors in 1958 as whiskey's popularity declined after World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe award-winning 1776 label was launched in 2012 to revive the old brand, and it has since grown into a modern favorite. Bottled at 100 proof without chill filtration, it brings a lot to the table, with a mash bill carrying over 38% rye for a spicy edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect rich bourbon sweetness and rye spice, with vanilla, honey, cloves and chocolate. The nose opens with peppery caramel and a few light fruits, and citrus and herbal spice settle in as it breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat, over ice, or in a proper Old Fashioned, this whiskey rocks; its high rye content also makes it a lively choice for a Manhattan or a Whiskey Sour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peppery caramel, light fruit, citrus, herbal spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon sweetness, rye spice, vanilla, honey, cloves, chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and spicy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e James E.
