About Us

In 2008 the brand was relaunched by whiskey entrepreneur Amir Peay. A decade-long campaign of thorough historical research and collection of historic materials was used to retell the lost story of this iconic American whiskey brand and to distill new stocks of "Pepper" whiskey (visit the History Page to learn more). To initiate the relaunch of the brand, partnerships with other distilleries were formed,
and today some of our whiskies on the shelves contain whiskies distilled at those distilleries. Details can be found on back labels and product pages on this website.
