1776 Straight Rye Whiskey

A multi-award-winning, robust American rye whiskey that proudly honors over two centuries of distilling tradition! Relaunched to replicate the bold, historic recipes of Colonel James E. Pepper, this 1776 expression features a massive 95% rye mash bill. Bottled without chill-filtration at a sturdy 100 proof (50% ABV), it delivers an incredibly intense, full-bodied, and flavor-packed profile. The high rye content brings a sharp, aggressive spice that is perfectly balanced by underlying notes of chocolate and honey, making it an absolute knockout in a classic Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

NOSE

Bright, floral, and intensely spicy. Inviting aromas of fresh mint, clove, eucalyptus, and a touch of sweet honey.

PALATE

Thick, rich, and spice-forward. A lively punch of peppery rye grain and warm cinnamon is beautifully softened by dark chocolate, vanilla cream, and sweet citrus.

FINISH

Exceptionally long, crisp, and chest-warming with a lingering, herbaceous spice and sweet toffee.
