The two wars were the American Revolution and the War of 1812, this Versailles was in Kentucky, and the visionary in question was \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Elijah Pepper. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;He was a Bourbon distiller who passed his family business to his son and grandson. The latter one was James E. Pepper, a colonel, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a Bourbon aristocrat, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and the creator of the Old Fashioned cocktail. His distillery was \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a powerhouse until 1958, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;when the entire industry fell on its knees.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;But the Old 1776 Whiskey, a favorite of Andrew Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;could not lay in oblivion forever, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;because good things tend to come back. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Amir Peay,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; an entrepreneur from Georgetown decided to re-found the historic\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; James E. Pepper Distillery\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and revive the brand. He spent years researching and analyzing the recipes and preserved bottles, and in 2008, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;the legend was back. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The majority of the lineup is Rye Whiskey. But they also have a series of high-rye Bourbons. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;James E. Pepper 1776 92 Proof Bourbon Whiskey\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; utilizes a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. And it’s bottled at a perfect 46% ABV which always makes us smile.
