James E. Pepper (Pedro Ximénez Finish)

A delicious rye whiskey aged in a bourbon cask with an Pedro Ximinez 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 Pedro Ximénez .  

The Experience

Nose: From a slight salinity and sea breeze, vanilla, raisin and charred oak emerge.

Palate: A dry mouthfeel with plenty of sweet notes - candied fruits, walnuts and honey.

Finish: A dry finish with peppery hints
