James E. Pepper 1776 Straight Rye Whiskey Finished In PX Sherry Casks - 100 Proof (750ml)

James E Pepper 1776 Straight Rye Sherry Cask is an unfiltered whiskey bottled at 92 proof after aging in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. This whiskey is rich in flavor with subtle complexity highlighting notes of chocolate, raisins, fruitcake, and rye spice.

ABV: 50%

Appearance

Medium Brown 

Nose

Sweet dark chocolate, spice cake, dark ripe fruits, and just a hint of oak greet the nose. It’s very rich, and deviates from the typical citrus bite of MGP rye, though some candied orange zest is present. 

Taste

And here’s where the rye assets itself. The black pepper spice is prevalent down the center of the palate with some sweet notes on the perimeter of the tongue. A slightly bitter note makes itself known on the rear palate, somewhat marring the overall flavor, but not completely.

Finish

The Bitterness from the rear palate remains, taking on a brown-paper-bag characteristic at the end of the long finish, with a burst of sweetness in the middle.
