JamesE.Pepper177692ProofRyeWhiskey(700mL)

<p>The acclaimed, brilliant, well-balanced Rye Whiskey that relaunched the James E. Pepper brand. </p><p>We imagine Whiskey-makers to have names like “Angus McSolid” and look like “The Most Interesting Man in the World.” The founder of Georgetown Trading Co. —<em> Amir Peay</em> — looks like a Bond villain from the Sean Connery era. That means we have a<em> craft-distilling company</em> making a range of full-flavored, high-quality Spirits owned by someone who just might be an agent of SECTRE. But Amir is a hero in our book for rescuing the historic Pepper name and <em>rebuilding the distillery. </em>Their range of quality brands includes John H. Sullivan Irish Whiskies, the historic James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbons and Ryes, Pow Wow Botanical Rye, and 1776 Napa Valley Wines.</p><p>Officially, <em>James E. Pepper 1776 92 Proof Rye Whiskey</em> has “over 90% rye” in the mash bill. We suspect that it is a full 95% with the remaining comprised of malted barley. This is the<em> 46%</em> ABV version of the famous Rye Whiskey that relaunched the Pepper brand and is still the most popular Spirit they produce. It’s a bundle of non-chill-filtered Whiskey joy and one that has garnered them quite a bit of bling over the years in the form of industry<em> awards and accolades.</em></p>
