In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by Liquor Barn, Matt and Mark spend some time hanging out with Amir Peay, Owner, and Cody Giles, Head Distiller, at the James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky. Amir was a prior guest on Episode 106 back in February 2022.

The guys talk with Amir and Cody about their respective backgrounds and how they both got into the Bourbon industry, the incredible history of the James E. Pepper Distillery and Amir’s relentless efforts to see it re-established, and the current state of the single malt industry in the US and what the future of that industry might look like over the next few years.

They also taste and review the 2023 James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Bourbon, a James E. Pepper Single Barrel Rye, and a yet to be released blended James E. Pepper Peated American Single Malt.
