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.

Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Partially Finished in Wine & Sherry Casks
Legent
Legent represents a rare East-meets-West collaboration between Beam's master distiller Fred Noe and Suntory's chief blender Shinji Fukuyo, where the simple act of exposing bourbon to different cask atmospheres transforms the spirit entirely. The partial finishing in wine and sherry barrels allows air and wood to reshape a classic bourbon profile into something layered and cosmopolitan. A compelling expression of how environment—the breath between barrels—shapes what ends up in your glass.
