Production & Aging:
Jeppson's 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys sourced from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Each component is aged for a minimum of four years in new charred American oak barrels. The bourbon is non-chill filtered and bottled at 100 proof, preserving its robust flavor profile and mouthfeel.
Distinctive Characteristics:
This bourbon stands out due to its high-rye mash bill, which imparts a bold character and complex flavor profile. The non-chill filtration process retains more of the whiskey's natural oils and flavors, resulting in a richer and more nuanced spirit.

- Neat: To fully appreciate its complex flavors
- On the Rocks: To slightly mellow its robust character
- In Classic Cocktails: Such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where its bold flavors can shine
