Decanter Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon, called James E. Pepper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Proof on the label, is a 2023 recreation of a historic 1945 bottle. This expression features blends of older stocks and distinct mash bills, including corn, rye, malted barley and malted rye, aged in new toasted and charred Kentucky oak barrels for 18–24 months. Distilled and bottled at the James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky, with whiskies averaging over 5 years old, it is bottled straight from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered.
