James E. Pepper (Oloroso Finish)

A delicious rye whiskey aged in a bourbon cask with an Oloroso finish. After the Pepper family closed the distillery back in the 1950s, Amir Peay brought the brand back to life in 2008 and since has revived the distillery in the original buildings.

The Label

Set in an old school soda float shop, smartly dressed distillery owner Amir is having his order taken. Against a backdrop of all kinds of sweet treats, he chooses from three barrel shaped soda fountains and for this time, he goes for an Oloroso.  

The Experience

Nose: Toasted oats, barley and sticky dates
Palate: A flood of sweetness, followed by cinnamon, cloves and warming spices

Finish: Spices fade away to a buttery, creamy flavour
