109.6 Proof · 5.5 Years
James E. Pepper
The Butterscotch Bomb—and ABH’s Raiders of the Lost Ark adventure.
ABH pick No. 2 was a 5.5-year-old James E. Pepper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled at barrel proof: 54.8% ABV and 109.6 proof.
This barrel earned the name Butterscotch Bomb honestly. Its unmistakable butterscotch character pushed to the front and gave ABH’s second private pick an identity before the sticker was ever drawn.
For the movie theme, ABH went after Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark: a barrel-headed adventurer, ancient ruins, a priceless golden idol, dangerous traps, and raccoon sidekicks racing through the action.
