Podcast appearances and mentions of James E Pepper

Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, connecting remotely from Colorado and Kentucky respectively, discuss recent happenings in the bourbon world and taste a couple of whiskies. Jim is in Colorado Springs for a Derby party, having flown out of Louisville on Derby Day. He mentions winning an exacta on the Derby race. He is sipping on Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select 90.4 proof, the annual Derby bottle, describing it as a traditional Woodford. He notes that at the Derby party, they were making mint juleps with Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, and while not his favorite drink, he partook. He even helped make the simple syrup. Todd is drinking Penelope Architect, the third in their series. It's a straight bourbon whiskey sourced from MGP, finished in French oak staves, bottled at 104 proof, and retails around $65. Todd finds it nice, noting the MGP cherry character and a "funky oak" from the French staves. They discuss Lost Lantern's new monthly subscription service, which recently launched after they had previously speculated about something similar. The service costs $90 a month plus shipping for a different bottle each month, special sign-up bottles, behind-the-scenes stories, exclusive events, virtual tastings, and early access to new releases. News from Buffalo Trace includes an announcement that they are adding an EH Taylor bottled-in-bond to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). They speculate it will be a well-aged version and note that some EH Taylor bottles already fetch prices similar to BTAC on the secondary market. They express hope that these will be findable, perhaps requiring waiting in line as in past years. Other news includes the release of the new Wild Turkey 8-year 101, which is starting to hit shelves at an MSRP of $49. They note that 8 years is the minimum age, and it could contain older stock. They are looking forward to reviewing it and comparing it to the 70th-anniversary release. Whiskey Thief has released their 2025 Mayday Rye, a 7-year-old, 146 proof (hazmat) rye. It's available at their distillery in Frankfort and their new tasting room in Louisville, and they are now shipping to some states. The hosts praise Whiskey Thief's ryes. Jim mentions an upcoming interview and tour at Law's Whiskey House in Denver during his Colorado trip. He notes Law's has established itself as a pioneer in Colorado whiskey, particularly with their bottled-in-bond and American single malts. Jim's second pour is the 291 Colorado Rye Whiskey finished in Aspen wood staves and maple syrup barrels, the "M" release, at 122 proof. He finds it has a great maple sweetness and notes that 291 whiskies are generally easy to identify due to their unique profile. He mentions his son recently volunteered bottling and labeling at 291, noting things are going well for the distillery. Todd's second pour is Pikesville Straight Rye from Heaven Hill, 110 proof and 6 years old, retailing around $50. He considers it a classic and a great value rye. He recalls being introduced to it during an interview with Bernie Lubbers at the Evan Williams Experience. They briefly discuss the Heaven Hill rye mashbill used for Rittenhouse and Elijah Craig Ryes, noting different proofs and ages. They talk about recent trends, including the rise of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, which are exploding in popularity, especially with younger consumers. They mention that the largest distillery in the US is now producing White Claw. While neither host is personally a big fan of seltzers or most RTDs, they acknowledge the market demand and hope bourbon is well-represented in this category. They also discuss the growing trend of THC-infused beverages, noting that hemp-derived THC under 0.3% by weight is federally legal. They express confusion about the health claims and draw parallels to the initial marketing of vaping as a safe alternative to cigarettes. They mention a recent barrel pick they did at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington for Bourbon on the Banks. They tasted three barrels and selected a bourbon, choosing one they felt would appeal more broadly, although they personally favored another with a great nose (vanilla icing, cake batter). They highlight the historical tour at James E. Pepper, discussing the distillery's long history and the role of James E. Pepper's wife. They note they also tried an excellent rye there aged 7-8 years. They discuss the recent move of RD1 Spirits to a new location and Macaulay Minton's Dark Arts moving into the old RD1 space, noting Macaulay's unique tastes and the interesting decor. They mention Sarah Algrim joining Macaulay. Beau Cumberland's Frankfurt Bourbon documentary is highlighted, with an upcoming screening on Friday, June 13th at The Foundry in Frankfurt, kicking off Bourbon Week. The screening is donation-based, with proceeds going to Frankfurt flood victims. Todd is the narrator for the documentary and receives praise from Jim for his narration skills. They hope to make the documentary more widely available in the future. Jim mentions researching a historical Shannon distillery in Shelbyville from the early 1800s. They recommend Beau Cumberland's YouTube page for short interviews and mini-docs on American spirits. Jim concludes by noting the pleasant "chest hug" from the 291 rye and acknowledging the late hour for Todd. Todd mentions a busy day with his son's soccer game. They wrap up the episode, encouraging listeners to find The Bourbon Road on social media and subscribe to the podcast.

In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, presented by Liquor Barn, Mark is flying solo and hanging out in The Bourbon Life Studio with Amir Peay, Owner and Operator of James E. Pepper Distilling Co. Amir was previously a guest on Episodes 106 and 212.

Pepper Barrel Proof Decanter Bourbon, and a James E. Pepper Single Barrel Bourbon.

We are back at it again. The bourbon flows on this one, we talk about history. Theres a distillery story and some gossip. Then we talk about Bottled in Bond, there is a lot going on. Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshaman Bottled-in-Bond (BIB) is a standard for American whiskey that has been aged and bottled in accordance with a set of legal regulations initially outlined in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897.  To be labeled Bottled-in-Bond, a whiskey must originate from a single distillery, produced during a single season—either spring (January to June) or fall (July to December)—aged for a minimum of 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 Proof (50% ABV).  The label on the bottled product must indicate the distillery where it was distilled and, if different, where it was bottled. Bottled-in-Bond stands as the world's first and highest standard for whiskey, and Colonel James E. Pepper played a crucial role in advocating for its creation and its implementation. One of the primary goals of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was to establish a quality standard for bourbon whiskey. Prior to the act's passage, much of the whiskey sold as straight whiskey was far from genuine. A significant portion of the product was adulterated, being flavored and colored with substances like iodine, tobacco, and more. This led to a widespread belief that there was a pressing need for a system to verify and assure the quality of the whiskey. Michael Veach, Bourbon Hall of Fame Author & Historian: "This was a controversial piece of legislation opposed by many rectifiers. The two sides of the argument included E.H. Taylor Jr., and James E. Pepper, who argued on the side of the straight whiskey producers, and George Garvin Brown and Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, who argued on the side of the rectifiers."

Today the Boys bring some bottles that were once hard to find retail, but now are available everywhere.  Matt brings the James E Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Drew brings the Aguasol Tequila Blanco and Reposado. When these were not easy to find retail, they were popular on "The Secondary Market" aka "The Black Market" aka via illegal private sales between unlicensed individuals.  Today, the Boys rant just a bit on their frustrations with this market, and encourage you to have a little patience. And with these two bottles, your patience will be rewarded. Listen along as the Boys give a little background on these brands and bottles, and enjoy on of the best QuickSips™ to date! These bottles are on the shelves and no longer marked up on an illegal market, so scoop 'em up, share with your friends, and Make It A Happy Friday™!

Librarian JP Johnson joins Mariam to discuss his research into the life of Ella Offutt Pepper, avid horsewoman and long-time owner of the James E. Pepper distillery. When her husband James E. Pepper took ill, he sold her the distillery to manage, which she did until after his death in the early 1900s. JP tells us about her widely-reported divorce from her first husband in Louisville, to the quiet ceremony of her second to Colonel Pepper, to her later years settling the Meadowthorpe estate.

There sure are a lot of rye whiskies out there and this week we try two more -- Nelson Brothers with whiskey out of Tennessee, I mean Kentucky; and a cheap barrel proof from the folks at James E Pepper with a whiskey out of Kentucky, I mean Indiana. Is it just me or does it seem like no one produces their own booze anymore? Either way, one of these we thought was pretty good and worth the price of admission. Give a listen and find out which. Cheers!

This week we discuss conceal carry license vs constitutional carry. Does a CCL encroach on our freedoms? Is Constitutional carry too dangerous? Dusty takes the side for CCL saying we need a system that educates people who are going to carry. Graig sides with Constitutional carry saying freedom of the second amendment is all we need to carry concealed. We also open a bottle of James E Pepper 1776 to drink. This is the oldest whiskey recipe in Kentucky dating all the way to the Revolutionary War. It's a great whiskey worth checking out.

This week Jesse welcomes Amir Peay to the program. The owner / operator of the historic James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky. Amir is the man responsible for bringing the iconic James E. Pepper brand back into the public focus and its beautiful whiskey back to the whiskey world. Jesse and Amir talk about the history of James E. Pepper and how one families legacy continues to mold the brown spirit landscape. They talk about how James E. Peppers legacy connects to Colonel E.H. Taylor, the plot of land now known for producing Woodford Reserve and how Amir has brought the brand back to life. It is a walk down the bourbon/rye memory lane with one of the best brands to ever produce whiskey. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it because James E. Pepper is one of the whiskey legacies that deserves preserving and Amir is doing all the right things to make sure it is properly cared for.

Ok, so we have to admit that Jim Beam (the brand) hasn't been a particular favorite of ours over the years. However, the Beam distillery makes some amazing products. So, when we discovered that they had a Bottled-in-Bond expression, our interest was certainly piqued. And yet... having been burned in the past (looking at you White Label), we didn't really have very high expectations. So, this could either be an incredible sleeper whiskey or a James E. Pepper-level sh*t show. Tune in to find out which!

Pepper "1776" https://jamesepepper.com David Foster Wallace: This is Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhhC_N6Bm_s Don Toliver "Company" Slowed and Reverb (***Preferred to Listen While High***) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvaUca7jsrU Topics: Indulging in comfort could have two sides to it. It's necessary for the human experience to enjoy the pleasures of the world but there has to be a balance. Comfort is the most addicting drug once its take over the process of the human brain because the brains very nature is a make the human experience as comfortable as possible. But to those that shake the world in it's very existence, avoid comfort for their greater good or reward. David Goggins once said "“You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential." It's in the moment where we feel that we just don't enough, is the moment we should push through in life.

if you talk to Amir Peay, he'll tell you up front that he's a whiskey nerd. After multiple attempts to start a whiskey brand, he decided that it would be a good idea to revive the old James E. Pepper distillery using their original mash build. We're glad he did, because that's what he's talking about on this podcast! Join us as Amir walks us through the process of how he built his own distillery from the ground up and made the four expressions we're tasting on this episode!--What we drank:1776 Rye 100 Proof1776 Rye Barrel Proof1776 Straight Rye Finished in Pedro Ximinez Sherry CasksOld Pepper Bourbon--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoO-l4Ny3QJn2Mc7445qMrg--Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Bartender Journey Episode #263 The Old Fashioned. I was at a sitting at a bar the other day and there was a bartender, training a young lady who was obviously brand new to bartending. The younger one asked the one who was doing the training “how long have you been bartending”. She answers “nearly 15 years”. A ticket comes in for an Old Fashioned. Here’s a learning opportunity for the newbie, right? She explains how to make it: “Get a rocks glass Get an orange slice and a luxardo cherry and muddle it in the glass. Add ¼ to ½ oz of simple syrup and about the same amount of sweet vermouth. Add ice and then fill nearly to the top with whiskey, (usually you should ask what type of whiskey they would like). Top with club soda. Put 3 or 4 dashes of bitters on top” There are a lot of problems here. Lets take them one by one. The muddled “fruit salad” Old Fashioned was an unfortunate variation on the classic recipe. Some people like them and even expect them that way, which is fine…the best cocktail for someone is the one made exactly the way they like it. But the classic recipe is water, sugar, bitters and whiskey…we’ll talk about where that description comes from in a few minutes. Somewhere along the road it became popular to muddle an orange slice and a red maraschino cherry with sugar and bitters.The muddling in an Old Fashioned is supposed to be to incorporate the granular sugar (or sugar cube) with a little water and the bitters. Moving on to the second mistake in my example. THERE IS NO VERMOUTH IN AN OLD FAHIONED!   There is sweet vermouth in a Manhattan…not an Old Fashioned Next…she says “top with club soda”. Yes we do want to dilute it a bit. Some books will tell you do this. Personally I add the water by stirring the whole thing in my mixing cup with ice. This chills the drink down and the melting ice adds water or “dilution”. I strain it into a glass with fresh ice. Next she said to “put 3-4 drops of bitters on top”. 100% wrong. I don’t like to flat out say somebody is doing something wrong, but no don’t do that.You want to incorporate the bitters into the drink. While there are drinks which call for drops of bitters on top, such as the Pisco Sour…not the Old Fashioned. This is my recipe, and its written almost exactly like this in Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s The Bar Book, which is more or less the final word for me personally in all matters Bartending. In mixing cup: 2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters 1 dash of Angostura Orange Bitters, 2 oz of Bourbon Stir with ice to chill and dilute. Strain into an old fashioned glass with one large 2” ice cube. Express oils from an orange twist (use a Y-peeler to make orange twist to order). You could also use a lemon twist, which is delicious also. Old Fashioneds can of course also be made with Rye whiskey or even rum. I’ve seen Reposado or Anão Tequila Old Fashioneds too. In Sasha Patraski’s book Regarding Cocktails Sasha’s protégé Sam Ross shares his recipe for an Old Fashioned variation called the Tattletale. Its made with Angostura bitters, honey a blend of a Highlands scotch and a smoky Islay scotch. So of course, there is no end to variations and methods, but I just feel like its good to know the proper traditional way of making things before going off on tangents. History wise: The earliest known printed definition of the “cocktail” appeared in the newspaper the Balance and Columbian Repository in 1806. It was written in response to a reader who asked for a definition of the word. It said a cocktail is “A stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters.” Quoting from Wikipedia, “The first use of the name ‘Old Fashioned’ for a Bourbon whiskey cocktail was said to have been at the Pendennis Club, a gentlemen's club founded in 1881 in Louisville, Kentucky. The recipe was said to have been invented by a bartender at that club in honor of Colonel James E. Pepper, a prominent bourbon distiller, who brought it to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York City.” Robert Simonson mentioned that it was simply referred to as a “whiskey cocktail” until the late 19th century. Mr. Simonson wrote a great book all about the Old Fashioned called The Old-Fashioned: The Story of the World's First Classic Cocktail, with Recipes and Lore. I’ll have a link to that along with the other books I mentioned. Speaking of prohibition, as I record this today Dec 5, 2018 it is Repeal Day! This is the anniversary of the end of Prohibition in 1933. Its an unofficial Bartender holiday, or at least excuse for a party! I happened to be almost at the end of binge watching Boardwalk Empire, which was a great show on HBO about the prohibition era. Its fictional, but a lot of historical characters are in the show like Lucky Luciano, Al Capone and Elliot Ness. The show is now available on Amazon Prime if you want to check it out. So mix yourself up and Old Fashioned. I’d love to see your version. If you could post a picture on IG and give it the hash tag #BartenderOldFashioned Depending how many we get, I’ll try to mention them all on the next show. I’ll be posting mine on my IG which is BartenderJourney. Here’s a toast: Here’s to everything that is old. Old friends, old times, old manners and old fashioneds.

A completely biased recap of the English premier league as told by two common American schmucks. On this week's episode of the Drunkard United Football Show, the boys are back to drinking American bourbon.  This week’s contribution to slurred words is James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbon. We learn that Sam Huston not only mispronounces words, but he also can’t do math and admits to being a moron, and that Sam Graham turns ambiguously British the more he drinks. As for the football, the boys rip into José Mourinho and here are the Week 7 English Premier League games recapped:  Chelsea 1 - Liverpool 1 Cardiff City 2 - Brighton 0 Arsenal 2 - Watford 0 Huddersfield 0 - Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 3- Fulham 0 Newcastle 0 - Leicester 2 Wolves 2 - Southampton 0 Bournemouth 2 - Crystal Palace 1 West Ham 3 - Manchester United 1 In "the only club that matters" news, the Drunkard United Football Club had another stinker of a week that Sam Graham had to sit out because he is “getting too old for this shit”  Send your questions into the two drunk Sams at DUfootballshow@gmail.com   Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow

This week on Gentlemen's Agreement we go American and sip on some straight rye whiskey, 1776 by James E. Pepper. We talk all things nerd on this week's ep because San Diego Comic Con just dropped a bunch of content to talk about. 

The James E. Pepper Distillery dominated the western edge of downtown Lexington, Kentucky for decades until it closed in 1958, and what was at one time the country's largest Bourbon distillery became a rundown eyesore. Several years ago, entrepreneurs bought several of the distillery's buildings and started building bars, a brewery, galleries and other businesses in the "Distillery District." Last December, Amir Peay's Georgetown Trading Co. brought distilling back to the district when he reopened the James E. Pepper Distillery using part of the original distillery building. This week, the distillery opened its doors to visitors for the first time to show off the heritage - and the future of the Pepper brand. Amir Peay joins us on WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also have details on Sazerac's Tennessee Whiskey plans, along with the opening next month of Stauning Whisky's new distillery in Denmark and much more!
