68: James E. Pepper's 1776 Whiskey with Amir Peay

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 Proof 1776 Rye Barrel Proof 1776 Straight Rye Finished in Pedro Ximinez Sherry Casks Old Pepper Bourbon -- Follow us: spiritguidesocietypodcast.com facebook.com/spiritguidesoc twitter.com/spiritguidesoc instagram.com/spiritguidesoc https://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/
