Jeptha Creed, a women-owned craft distillery, just launched its 6-Year Wheated Bourbon. The Jeptha Creed family farm grows renowned Bloody Butcher Corn, a non-GMO heirloom varietal that imparts a uniquely sweet yet nutty flavor profile Jeptha’s portfolio, the distillery states.
“We like to say that we’ve gone about creating our bourbon the most difficult way possible. It was about 9 years ago since our original experimentation that led us to know we would create and age a wheated bourbon,” said Joyce Nethery, Master Distiller and CEO for Jeptha Creed Distillery, in a news release. “We are beyond thrilled the day has come to release our 6-year-old bourbon. This milestone makes us even more excited to see the beautiful flavor our Bloody Butcher Corn will continue to lend to our aging bourbon for years to come.”
The 6-Year Wheated Bourbon (46.5% ABV/93 Proof) has a mash bill of 75% Bloody Butcher Corn, 20% Malted Wheat and 5% Malted Barley. It features an aroma of brown butter, toasted almond and croissant, with notes of cinnamon bread, tobacco, chocolate, white pepper, dark cherry and crème brûlée, the distillery states.
The 6-Year Wheated Bourbon (SRP: $59.99) is available starting May 2, 2024, in the distillery gift shop, online spirit shop and in select retail locations throughout KY, IN, TN, IL, MO, TX, FL, GA and CO.
