James E. PepperGold Label

James E. Pepper Gold Label - Fall 2025 Release is a bourbon bottled at a relatively robust 52.0% ABV. For a novice drinker, that usually means a fuller, more concentrated style than standard bottlings, with the classic bourbon emphasis on sweetness from corn and flavor from new charred oak.

Bourbon is typically known for notes such as vanilla, caramel, oak, and baking spice, and a higher-strength release can make those qualities feel richer and more pronounced. Adding a few drops of water may help open it up and soften the alcohol.
