Jeptha Creed, a women-owned craft distillery offering a range of craft spirits, proudly announced the launch of its 6-Year Wheated Bourbon. Known for a ground-to-glass model, the Jeptha Creed family farm grows Bloody Butcher Corn, a non-GMO heirloom varietal that imparts a uniquely sweet yet nutty flavor profile to Jeptha Creed’s portfolio.

“We like to say that we’ve gone about creating our bourbon the most difficult way possible. It was about 9 years ago since our original experimentation that led us to know we would create and age a wheated bourbon,” Joyce Nethery, Master Distiller and CEO for Jeptha Creed Distillery, said in a news release. “We are beyond thrilled the day has come to release our 6-year-old bourbon. This milestone makes us even more excited to see the beautiful flavor our Bloody Butcher Corn will continue to lend to our aging bourbon for years to come.”

Available on May 2, 2024, Jeptha Creed 6-Year Wheated Bourbon (46.5% ABV/93 Proof) has a mash bill of 75% Bloody Butcher Corn, 20% Malted Wheat and 5% Malted Barley, leading to a golden Citrine Gem hue.

“Since we are the only distillery we know of aging bourbon for an extended amount of time using Bloody Butcher Corn, we are always so excited to see what flavor notes our guests and fans pull from our spirits,” Autumn Nethery, Co-Owner and Marketing Manager for Jeptha Creed, said.

Introduced in 2016, Jeptha Creed is owned and operated by the Netherys, a mother-daughter duo, standing as the only such team in Kentucky’s whiskey-making landscape. The Nethery family owns over 2,000 acres throughout Shelby County, which includes the distillery property and their home farm. Jeptha Creed prides itself on being a ground-to-glass distillery, striving to be sustainable and thoughtful at every step of production.

The 64 acres that make up the distillery property are covered in crops that produce grain, corn, fruits, and other ingredients that will go straight into the Jeptha Creed bourbon, vodka, moonshine, and brandy. Located along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour, Jeptha Creed Distillery is open to visitors and offers tasting experiences, tours, and spaces to enjoy the delicious products.

The 6-Year Wheated Bourbon (SRP: $59.99) is available starting May 2, 2024, in the distillery gift shop, online spirit shop, and in select retail locations throughout KY, IN, TN, IL, MO, TX, FL, GA and CO. Find a store near you by visiting https://jepthacreed.com/where-to-buy/.
