James E Pepper 1776 Rye 50% 750ml

1776 Straight Rye Whiskey comes from the James E. Pepper brand, a name that has long been known in the American whiskey world, though not as much recently as it was in the early 1900s. Happily, the 1776 brand has been relaunched and the James E. Pepper legend lives on! This straight rye is made with a mash-bill featuring 90% rye and has been bottled at 50% ABV.

Nose: Big, spicy wafts of rye, with hints of clove and cinnamon underneath.

Palate: Orange zest, heavy rye bread and subtle oak influence.

Finish: Long and very spicy.
