Jeptha Creed announces the release of its fourth batch of Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Bourbon lovers and patriots have a new reason to raise a glass this November. Jeptha Creed Distillery, the craft producer known for its unique heirloom Bloody Butcher Corn, has proudly announced the release of the fourth batch of its Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

More than just a highly anticipated annual release, this limited-edition bottle is dedicated to honoring the nation’s current and past military members. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to Paws of War, a powerful non-profit organization focused on supporting veterans and first responders through service animals.

The Red, White & Blue expression holds a special significance for the mother-daughter duo, Joyce and Autumn Nethery, who own and operate Jeptha Creed. The annual release coincides with the anniversary of the distillery's opening, which took place on Veterans Day in 2016.

The Bourbon Profile: Rich, Buttery, and Complex

The fourth batch of this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey promises a flavor experience as complex as its origin story. With a brilliant orange-brown amber appearance, the nose is highly complex, offering inviting notes of red berry fruits, bread pudding, nutmeg, and clove.

On the palate, the bourbon is notably rich and buttery, unfolding layers of caramel, toasted nuts, dried fruit, and toffee, finished with a hint of cinnamon. The conclusion is long and lingering, dominated by sweet oak and warm baking spices.

Partnering for Healing and Hope

The distillery's commitment to animal welfare is deeply ingrained; the team even rescued and adopted four cats discovered on the property during construction, who now serve as valued, barrel-guarding members of the team. This compassion made the partnership with Paws of War a natural fit.

Paws of War’s mission is vital: they provide loyal service dogs to veterans, first responders, and their families, particularly those battling invisible wounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The nonprofit also extends its work to animal rescue and rehabilitation, including reuniting military personnel with animals they bonded with in war-torn regions.

"Our new partnership with Paws of War deepens our commitment to honoring Veterans, a cause close to our hearts, while celebrating the traditions that define our family and our distillery," said Joyce Nethery, Master Distiller and CEO.

Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War, noted the crucial impact of the support: “We truly appreciate Jeptha Creed Distillery's support in furthering our mission to assist veterans in overcoming challenges while keeping their beloved pets safe and by their side.”

To celebrate the release, Jeptha Creed Distillery will host a special Veterans Day tribute on November 8th, featuring a color guard ceremony, guest speakers, bottle signings, and more.

The Red, White & Blue Batch Four Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (SRP: $74.99) is available starting November 8th at the distillery gift shop, online, and in select retail locations across 40 U.S. states.
