Jeptha Creed Distillery Unveils Fifth Release of Red, White & Blue Bourbon

In a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women of the U.S. military, Jeptha Creed Distillery, a renowned craft distillery based in Shelbyville, Kentucky, is thrilled to announce the release of its fifth batch of Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This year's launch is especially significant as it coincides with the distillery's 10th anniversary, a milestone that reflects a decade of dedication to quality, community, and charitable giving.

Founded by the ambitious mother-daughter duo, Joyce and Autumn Nethery, Jeptha Creed has always been committed to honoring veterans. Their annual release on Veterans Day serves as a passionate commitment to supporting those who have served the country. This year, the distillery has partnered with K9s For Warriors, a nonprofit organization devoted to providing trained service dogs to veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle sold will be donated to this noble cause, further enhancing the impact of this tradition.

Available starting November 7, Batch 5 of the Red, White & Blue Bourbon is distinguished by its rich amber hue and complex flavor profile. Upon sampling, enthusiasts will discover notes of red berry fruits intertwined with hints of sweet spices like nutmeg and clove. The whiskey's palate is described as rich and buttery, blooming with flavors of caramel, toasted nuts, dried fruit, toffee, and a dash of cinnamon. The experience finishes with a warm and lingering essence of sweet oak and baking spices, making it a truly delightful drink for bourbon aficionados.

Joyce Nethery, the Master Distiller and CEO of Jeptha Creed, expressed her pride in this unique release: "Veterans Day has always held a significant place in our journey, as it's the day we first opened our doors ten years ago. With our fifth Red, White & Blue release, we're proud to continue a tradition that allows us to give back to those who have served our country. Collaborating with K9s For Warriors makes this year's release especially meaningful, as we support an organization making a tangible difference in veterans' lives."

This initiative is not only about honoring soldiers but also celebrates the bond between humans and animals. When Jeptha Creed was being established, the construction team found four stray cats on the property. The team chose to adopt these felines, which have since become mascots of the distillery, guarding the bourbon barrels and warming the hearts of visitors. Their contributions emphasize the distillery's ongoing commitment to animal welfare and community engagement.

The mission of K9s For Warriors—founded in 2011—is heartwarming in its drive to end veteran suicide through the provision of service dogs. This organization rescues and trains dogs to work as service animals, ensuring they are paired with veterans in need at no financial cost. They focus on creating awareness around mental health issues and pushing for policy reform, which underscores the importance of collaborative projects like this.

"We've seen firsthand the extraordinary impact a Service Dog can have on a Veteran's life," says Daniel Bean, CEO of K9s For Warriors. "Collaborations with Jeptha Creed help us continue providing these life-changing bonds to Veterans in need while giving rescue dogs a renewed sense of purpose. We're grateful for their commitment to honoring those who have served and helping advance our mission of saving lives at both ends of the leash."

To celebrate this important release, Jeptha Creed Distillery will also host a special Veterans Day tribute event on November 7, which will feature a color guard ceremony, guest speakers, bottle signings, and light appetizers to honor those who served. More information can be found on their website, including details on where to buy.

The Red, White & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch 5 will retail for $74.99 and can be purchased at the distillery’s gift shop, online spirit shop, and select retail locations across 40 states in the U.S. To find a nearby store, visit their website to locate a dealer.

In conclusion, Jeptha Creed Distillery continues to raise the bar in crafting spirits while making a meaningful impact in the community. With its commitment to honoring veterans and supporting local organizations, the distillery exemplifies what it means to be a responsible and compassionate business.
