Jeptha Creed — Jeptha Creed Red, White & Blue Bourbon Batch Three Jeptha Creed

Jeptha Creed is releasing a new Kentucky Straight Bourbon. But while that alone should interest whiskey drinkers, it’s made even better because it’s being released to show support for current and past military members and their families by giving a portion of the proceeds to CreatiVets, a non-profit charity.

This 100-proof Kentucky straight bourbon is made with a mash bill of 25% Bloody Butcher corn, 25% Heirloom White Corn, 25% Bruce’s Blue Corn, 20% malted rye, and 5% malted barley.

According to Jeptha Creed, the nose is a mix of dried cherries, candied orange peels, and vanilla beans on the nose. The palate is a symphony of orchard fruits, toasted vanilla beans, and cinnamon candy. The finish is long, warming, and filled with toffee, apricots, and stone fruits.

“We’re thrilled to release Batch Three of our Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon,” Joyce Nethery, Master Distiller and CEO of Jeptha Creed Distillery, said in a press release. “This year’s partnership with CreatiVets deepens our commitment to honoring Veterans, a cause close to our hearts while celebrating the traditions that define our family and our distillery.”

The best high-rye bourbons: A unique blend of spice, sweet, and complexity

Our favorite high-rye bourbons available everywhere

Whiskey glass

At its simplest, bourbon is a whiskey with a mash bill of at least 51% corn. While many distillers opt for a higher percentage of corn, others mix in more secondary grains like barley, wheat, and rye. And while we could spend a whole article writing about the flavors and aromas added by adding the various grains, today, we’re all about rye—specifically high-rye bourbon.

If you don’t know what high-rye bourbon is (and that’s okay), we’re here to help. High-rye bourbon is precisely as the name suggests. It’s a type of whiskey with more rye in its mash bill than most bourbon. Rye is also the secondary grain after corn. It usually makes up 20-30% of the total mash bill.
