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.

Availability: On sale November 7, 2024.

ABV: 50%

Mash bill: Deep red 25% Bloody Butcher corn, 25% heirloom white corn, 25% Bruce’s Blue Corn (created by Bruce Nethery, the husband and father of the ownership duo, and bred from blue Claridge and blue poppy corn), 20% malted rye, and 5% malted barley.

Tasting notes (from the distillery): “On the nose, there is a delightful mosaic of dark cherry, orange peel, and vanilla. Upon tasting, enjoy flavors of crisp apple, complemented by warm notes of cinnamon and vanilla. The finish is long and lingering, filled with caramel, apricot, and stone fruits, leaving a satisfying depth of flavor.”

“We're thrilled to release Batch Three of our Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon. This year’s partnership with CreatiVets deepens our commitment to honoring veterans, a cause close to our hearts while celebrating the traditions that define our family and our distillery.”
