Produced in Shelby County, Kentucky, Jeptha Creed Red White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon is bottled at 100 proof. The mashbill includes 25% Bloody Butcher corn, 25% heirloom white corn, 25% Bruce’s blue corn, 20% malted rye and 5% malted barley.
Adding water helps tame the heat and integrate the flavors, and I recommend it. The finish is surprisingly long as notes of cinnamon, ginger, clove, and oak linger. Altogether, a good bourbon for a good cause.
