James E. Pepper & Co.
Tasting Notes
Rich, decadent aromas of dried fruits, sherry, and a hint of cool peppermint tantalize the senses upon the initial nosing of this exquisite rye whiskey. The sweetness of orange peel and toasted walnuts envelops the dusty rye spice, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors. Upon tasting, the warmth of new oak seamlessly blends with the sherry-drenched dried fruit, striking a perfect balance between a toasted, dry mouthfeel and a luscious, viscous sweetness. Layers of toffee popcorn, candied ginger, and rye bread unfold, adding depth and complexity. The finish lingers with a delightful glaze of burnt honey, leaving a lasting impression. This masterfully crafted rye whiskey, finished in Pedro Ximénez casks, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of James E. Pepper and That Boutique-y Whisky Company.
