The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
James E. Pepper Barrel Proof Bourbon is bottled straight from the barrel without dilution, delivering the full, undiluted character of this historic Kentucky whiskey brand. Known for its bold, high-proof releases, James E. Pepper crafts this expression for whiskey drinkers who want maximum flavor intensity.
The nose is earthy and woody, with fragrant oak, vintage leather, and forest floor notes leading the way. The palate offers sweeter flavors of brown sugar and caramel balanced against the earthy, oak-driven backbone, all intensified by the barrel-strength proof. The finish is long, warm, and complex, with lingering spice and char.
A few drops of water can help open up the aromatics on this high-proof bourbon, and it also makes an excellent base for a bold Manhattan or old fashioned. Pair it with smoked meats, aged cheese, or dark chocolate.
