James E. Pepper Gold Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This is a bold Kentucky bourbon. James E. Pepper Gold Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 104 proof (52% ABV) and cask strength, meaning it reaches the bottle at undiluted barrel proof. Its firm intensity suits the direct, full-flavored style, while the 750 mL size keeps it familiar and straightforward.

Toasted oak anchors the profile, with walnuts adding a savory, nutty depth. Dried fruit brings a darker sweetness, and citrus peel gives the finish a clean edge. The higher proof allows those flavors to remain distinct rather than fading quickly. Taste a small pour neat to experience its full concentration, or serve it over a large cube to soften the strength while preserving the bourbon’s oak and fruit character.
