Jeptha Creed Distillery is honoring Veterans Day and the anniversary of the distillery’s founding with the third release of its Red, White, and Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
The Shelbyville, Kentucky craft distillery is donating a portion of the bourbon’s proceeds to the non-profit organization CreatiVets. Jeptha Creed is owned by our friends, the mother-daughter duo Joyce and Autumn Nethery. Their distillery opened on Veterans Day in 2016.
“We are deeply grateful to Jeptha Creed for standing by our nation’s heroes and amplifying our mission in such a meaningful way,” said Kyle Yepson, CreatiVets Deputy Director. ”Whether it’s art, music, or community building, these funds will provide veterans with the skills needed to share their experiences in new ways. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of veterans across the country.”
Jeptha Creed will roll out the new release at a Veterans Day event on November 7 at 11:00 a.m.that will include a color guard ceremony, guest speakers, light appetizers, bottle signings, and more.
