The story
The Pepper name is a historic Kentucky label linked to the Pepper family and whiskey production dating back centuries. The original brand ceased operations in the second half of the 20th century; the name was revived beginning in 2008. After extensive historical research and restoration of the historic area, the Lexington site was reconstructed and distillation resumed in December 2017; in the meantime early commercial releases were also obtained by sourcing from other producers while local stocks matured.
Ageing
Maturation in Kentucky oak barrels; cooperage indicated as 'Kentucky Oak' air-seasoned 18–24 months, with variable toast and char level (char #1–4).
