Jeptha Creed is a Kentucky craft distillery owned by mother-daughter crew Joyce and Autumn Nethery. We beforehand tried their 6-year-old Wheated Bourbon, which was spectacular: complicated but balanced. At this time we take a crack at their latest providing: Pink, White & Blue Straight Bourbon.
There are two causes for the bourbon’s patriotic identify. The primary is the colour palate of the corn varieties used to make the whiskey, which incorporates 25% Bloody Butcher Corn, 25% heirloom white corn, and 25% Bruce’s Blue corn. The mashbill is rounded out with 20% malted rye, and 5% malted barley. The second motive for the bourbon’s identify is {that a} portion of the proceeds of batch 3 is donated to CreatiVets. Batch 2 benefitted USA Cares, and Batch 1 helped assist Veteran’s Membership Inc. Ingesting for a trigger – what could possibly be higher? Let’s open the bottle and provides it a strive.
The whiskey pours an exquisite orange gold shade. The nostril begins with huge notes of candy corn after which strikes on to vanilla, sweet corn, caramel, and orange peel. The palate follows swimsuit and introduces further complexity. Candy corn hits first together with a little bit of an alcohol chunk, adopted by cinnamon-covered apples, contemporary cracked black pepper, orange pith, caramel, ginger, clove, and oak. The bottle says the spirit is not less than 4 years previous, and the whiskey comes collectively nicely for its age. Including water helps tame the warmth and combine the flavors, and I like to recommend it. The end is surprisingly lengthy as notes of cinnamon, ginger, clove, and oak linger. Altogether, a great bourbon for a great trigger.
