Tennessee Whiskey

The Pepper name goes way back in terms of bourbon production, back to 1776. Even James E. Pepper nick-named the whiskey 'Old 1776'. However, in the latter half of the 1900s, the James E. Pepper name, along with Old 1776 became heard from less and less.

But now, the folks at Georgetown Trading Co. have assumed stewardship of the 1776 brand and proudly brought it back to the spotlight. After plenty of research into the whiskey from years past, including recipes and actual bottles from pre, mid and post Prohibition days, they have relaunched the 1776, starting with this straight bourbon, made with a mash-bill that features over 38% rye and bottled at 50% ABV.

Nose: Zesty citrus, oak-y resin touches, vanilla pod sweetness and a good kick of rye.

Palate: Honey notes open up the palate, giving way to soft vanilla, fruity orange and dark chocolate.

Finish: Very long, with rye bread and cinnamon spice lingering.

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.

The Jefferson's - In 1997, when Jefferson’s was first starting out, we found a 15-year-old bourbon that we immediately knew was rich, complex and needed to be brought to market. It was in 2003 that we decided to bring in other bourbons to marry with the original Jefferson’s Reserve. Similar to Jefferson’s, we still use over 50% of that mash bill and add up to 3 more bourbons to create more flavor and complexities. Jefferson’s Reserve is a big, sophisticated bourbon that has a lot of flavor up front, a lot of weight mid palate and a deep, wonderful finish.

As a 4 year old, little wood is evident in itsflavour. Instead it shows its cereal roots and a foxyquality from its wild yeast strain. This gives Jim Beam White a uniqueflavour not apparent in other Beam products. The colour is a nice, balancedamber, more red than orange. The nose is slightly perfumy. The mouth feel is slightly syrupy.source: The Bourbon Country Reader

#N/A

This Canadian whisky?s base is double-distilled corn whisky aged for at least 15 years in a combination of brand new white oak casks, once used American bourbon casks and used Canadian whisky casks. The second component is column-distilled rye aged for at least 15 years. It is bottled at 40%.

Tasting Notes: Caramel, toffee, and banana bread with spicy oak notes are pulled into the nose accented by maple sugars. The caramel and toffee flavors quickly shifts to a mid-palate chest warming clove rye spice with a peppery snap. Pleasantly bitter fruit rinds are fresh on the finish.

J.P. Wiser's Deluxe is a full-flavoured Canadian whisky which offers a rich aroma with a body that is complex and perfectly balanced. Bright golden in colour with a sweet caramel aroma, and a sweet corn meal and vanilla flavour.
