We Tried Jeptha Creed’s NEW Speakeasy Tour in Shelbyville, KY! 

Jeptha Creed Speakeasy Tour Experience & Exclusive Double Barrel Review! | BTTT Ep. 64

Welcome back to Bourbon Trail Tales and Tastes! In Episode 64, Wayne and Rebecca travel to Shelbyville, Kentucky, to take you behind the scenes at Jeptha Creed Distillery for their brand-new, exclusive Speakeasy Tour.

Join us as we explore this family-owned, grain-to-glass operation—from their original pot stills and famous distillery cats (Barley, Wheat, Rye, and Malt!) to a secret door hidden behind the outdoor concert stage. Inside the speakeasy, we sample directly from the barrel and bring home two ultra-rare, distillery-exclusive pours: the Master Distiller Select 4-Grain Bourbon and the Master Distiller Select Single Barrel Bourbon.

Watch as we break down the unique flavor profiles of heirloom Bloody Butcher corn, heavy malted grain mash bills, “dusty funk” notes, and sweet cinnamon red-hot spice!

3 Epic Blue Corn Bourbons Put to the Ultimate Test! 

Is blue corn the ultimate secret weapon in craft bourbon? In today’s episode of Your Bourbon Journey, Wayne and Rebecca dive deep into an epic, high-proof lineup featuring three stunning heirloom blue corn bourbons: Jeptha Creed Bruce’s Blue, Bluegrass Distillers KSBW Single Barrel (#9044), and Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon!

From farm-to-glass 100-proof expressions to 130+ proof hazmat-level flavor bombs, heirloom blue corn brings a unique, rich profile—delivering deep notes of dark caramel, leather, tobacco, creamy vanilla pudding, maple, and brown sugar without the harsh “craft funk.”

Join us as we explore the history of these unique mash bills, share stories from our recent visits to Jeptha Creed and Bluegrass Distillers, discuss their cigar-pairing potential, and select one bottle to advance to our official Whiskey of the Month competition!
