Jeptha Creed Distillery has released the fifth batch of its Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, with a portion of proceeds going to K9s For Warriors. The annual release pays tribute to those who have served in the U.S. military, and this year’s edition adds a new charitable collaboration.
Batch 5 became available Nov. 7 as the Shelbyville, Kentucky, distillery celebrates its 10th anniversary. Jeptha Creed opened its doors on Veterans Day in 2016. The whiskey is brilliant orange-brown amber, with a nose of red berry fruits, bread pudding, nutmeg, and clove, and a palate of caramel, toasted nuts, dried fruit, toffee, and a hint of cinnamon. It finishes with dried fruit, sweet oak and warm baking spices.
K9s For Warriors, founded in 2011, pairs trained service dogs with veterans nationwide who live with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or military sexual trauma. The nonprofit primarily rescues and trains dogs for the work and matches them with veterans at no financial cost. “Collaborating with K9s For Warriors makes this year’s release especially meaningful, as we support an organization making a tangible difference in veterans’ lives,” said Joyce Nethery, master distiller and CEO of Jeptha Creed.
K9s For Warriors CEO Daniel Bean said the group has seen firsthand the impact a service dog can have on a veteran’s life. “Collaborations with Jeptha Creed help us continue providing these life-changing bonds to Veterans in need, while giving rescue dogs a renewed sense of purpose,” Bean said.
The distillery marked the release with a Veterans Day tribute on Nov. 7 featuring a color guard ceremony, guest speakers, bottle signings and light appetizers.
Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch 5 has a suggested retail price of $74.99. It is available at the distillery gift shop, through its online spirit shop, and at select retailers in 40 states.
Jeptha Creed is an award-winning craft distillery founded by mother-daughter duo Joyce and Autumn Nethery. The distillery’s team rescued and adopted four cats found on the property during construction. The cats patrol the bourbon barrels at night and have built a following among visitors and on social media.
