Mike And Matt Taste Jeptha Creed Bruce’s Blue Bourbon

I like the Bourbon Jeptha Creed is distilling. Joyce Nethery is a talented distiller and they are a farm to bottle distillery. They usually make their Bourbon with Bloody Butcher red corn, but this is a Bourbon made with blue corn. This is their newest product and it is a very good whiskey. I picked up a bottle the other day and Matt and I sat down to taste it. Here are our tasting notes.

Jeptha Creed Bruce’s Blue Bourbon

Proof: 100

Age: No Age Statement

Nose:

Mike: Vanilla, corn, banana, baking spices and oak wood.
Matt: Vanilla, Honey Nut Cheerios, cherries, baking spices and oak wood.

Taste:

Mike: Vanilla, corn, orange zest, cardamom, and oak wood. Tasted with a dried cranberry and the vanilla is enhanced and cinnamon comes out. Tasted with a pecan and caramel comes out with vanilla, orange zest and cinnamon.
Matt: Vanilla, cherry cola, red pepper and oak wood. The dried cranberry added lemon zest. The pecan added caramel, chocolate cake and red pepper.

Finish:

Mike: Medium long with oak wood, orange zest and cardamom. The dried cranberry added cinnamon to the finish. The pecan made the finish long with oak wood, cinnamon and lingering caramel.
Matt: Medium long with oak and red pepper. The dried cranberry added lemon zest. The pecan made the finish long with oak wood, chocolate and red pepper.

I would pair this fine Bourbon with a My Father The Judge cigar. I think the rich vanilla and chocolate in the smoke would enhance the vanilla and chocolate in the Bourbon.
