Distillery Information

The James E. Pepper brand traces its heritage to Colonel James E. Pepper, who established a prominent Kentucky whiskey legacy in the 19th century. The original distillery in Lexington became one of Kentucky's historic whiskey sites before eventually falling silent. The brand was revived in the 21st century, with the renovated Old Pepper Distillery in Lexington returning to whiskey production in 2017. Modern James E. Pepper releases draw on the brand's historic recipes and identity while incorporating contemporary distilling and barrel-aging practices. The range includes bourbon and rye expressions, with barrel-proof and limited releases showcasing the depth and intensity of the selected whiskey.
