Jeptha Creed Distillery announced the upcoming release of Bruce’s Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This bottle is a testament to agricultural-forward bourbon techniques, an embodiment of Jeptha Creed’s “Our Farm to Your Glass” commitment. 

Bruce’s Blue is an exclusive heirloom corn varietal developed, planted and harvested exclusively on Jeptha Creed’s own farm. This new expression is the realization of the vision of Bruce Nethery, husband of Joyce Nethery and the driving force behind the family’s Shelbyville farming operation. 

By developing and distilling their own heirloom grains, Jeptha Creed has cemented its role as industry leader in exploring the flavor possibilities heirloom corn can offer. Bruce’s Blue Bourbon is the latest example of how Jeptha Creed has remained dedicated to Kentucky agriculture and Shelbyville’s farming and distilling heritage.

Bottled at 50% ABV / 100 proof, Bruce’s Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash bill of 75% Bruce’s Blue corn, 20% malted rye, and 5% malted barley. 

“At Jeptha Creed, we’ve always believed that great bourbon begins on the farm,” Joyce Nethery, Master Distiller and CEO of Jeptha Creed Distillery, said in a news release. “Bruce’s Blue is a meaningful release for our family because it reflects both our spirit of innovation and our commitment to heirloom grains. This bourbon represents an exciting future, driven by the unique, unmatched flavors that only our proprietary grains can deliver.”

With Bruce’s Blue, Jeptha Creed decisively establishes itself as a benchmark for heirloom grain spirits, proving the distillery’s dedication to producing bourbons with an undeniable agricultural identity. Jeptha Creed continues to push the boundaries of what Kentucky bourbon can be, demonstrating how innovation is best achieved when grounded in the framework of traditional methods.

Bruce’s Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (SRP: $59.99) will be available soon in 750ml bottles at the Distillery Visitor Center & Select KY Retailers.
