Jeptha Creed Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Jeptha Creed · Jeptha Creed Distillery
Jeptha Creed grows their own Bloody Butcher heritage corn on the family farm, and you can taste the difference — a depth of corn character that commodity grain simply cannot deliver. This is a bourbon built from the soil up, and it rewards anyone paying attention.
Nose
Toasted corn leads immediately, followed by sweet butterscotch and a thread of ripe red apple. Behind those notes sits a gentle earthiness, almost like freshly turned garden soil.
Palate
The entry is buttery and rich, with caramel sweetness balanced by a firm rye spice that builds at midpalate. The four-grain mash bill gives unusual textural complexity — creamy from the wheat, snappy from the rye, with a roasted malt backbone holding everything together.
Finish
Medium-length with lingering charred oak, a whisper of pecan, and fading brown spice warmth.
