James E Pepper 1776 Rye Whiskey

James E Pepper 1776 is a rye whiskey bottled under the revived James E Pepper label. The family name goes back to 1776, when James's grandfather is said to have opened the first distillery in Kentucky. The brand reached its height in the early twentieth century before fading away, and it has now returned. This is a fruity rye with a character close to bourbon.
