Jeptha Creed 4 Grain Corn Bourbon Review
Nose
With its unmistakable smell, Jeptha Creed 4 Grain Corn Bourbon offers an unique and earthy aroma of grass, cedar, dandelions, tobacco, mushrooms, vegetative notes, and a hint of mixed nuts.
Palate
On the palate, you can taste a mix of coriander, light clove, leather, honey, grassiness, and a faint hint of mint.
Finish
The finish is a pleasant blend of vanilla, almond, light brown sugar, graham cracker, and has a medium-length duration.
Overall
In conclusion, Jeptha Creed 4 Grain Corn Bourbon has achieved a unique flavor profile that reminds of a down-to-earth, natural taste. It is relatively mellow with its under 3 year old age statement; however, it still packs plenty of flavor, proving to be a nice change of pace from the typical bourbon taste. The malted grains add a buttery, slightly sweet thickness and the inclusion of bloody butcher corn doesn’t give off a roasted note. With a little more time in the barrel, it could definitely enhance the flavor intensity a bit and make for a truly remarkable whiskey.
