100% Rye Mashbill
116.6 proof
6-8 years old
James E. Pepper Distilling Co. Decanter Barrel Proof Rye (116.6 proof) is a bold, high-rye expression built on a 100% rye mashbill and aged 6–8 years, delivering a dense, spice-driven profile with serious structure. Bottled at cask strength, it opens with classic rye aromatics—mint, eucalyptus, citrus peel, and seasoned oak—before driving into a layered palate of cracked pepper, dark chocolate, honeyed grain, and herbal spice. The extended aging adds depth and oak integration, rounding the intensity while preserving the vibrant rye character. The finish is long, warming, and dry, with lingering spice, toasted oak, and a refined, old-school rickhouse character that showcases both power and precision.
