Product Description

James E. Pepper 1776 Straight Bourbon

James E. Pepper 1776 Straight Bourbon is a high-rye Kentucky bourbon bottled at 100 proof. The official producer describes it as unfiltered, with rich bourbon sweetness balanced by rye spice. Vanilla, honey, clove and chocolate shape the profile, making this a bold bottle for neat pours, ice and a proper Old Fashioned.

The 1776 name connects the whiskey to the Pepper family brand, which traces its history to 1780. The modern 1776 label was launched in 2012 as part of the revival of the historic James E. Pepper name.
