Jeptha Creed Distillery Announces Expansion Into Virginia Market

The premier craft distillery from Shelbyville, Kentucky, is now available in the Old Dominion State

Shelbyville, KY - April 15, 2025 - Jeptha Creed, a women-owned craft distillery offering a range of award-winning craft spirits, proudly announces retail expansion to the State of Virginia. Two of their core expressions, the Straight Four-Grain Bourbon and 6-Year Wheated Bourbon, are available now.

Through careful craftsmanship, Jeptha Creed Distillery has gained a loyal following and earned several prestigious awards, including numerous gold medals and recognition from esteemed spirits competitions, including the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Sip Awards, and the International Drinks Awards. Jeptha Creed prides itself on being a ground-to-glass distillery, striving to be thoughtful at every step of production. The family farm grows the renowned Bloody Butcher Corn, a non-GMO heirloom variety that imparts a uniquely sweet yet nutty flavor profile to Jeptha Creed’s diverse portfolio.

"We’re incredibly excited to bring Jeptha Creed bourbon to the great state of Virginia,” says Joyce Nethery, Co-Owner and Master Distiller of Jeptha Creed Distillery. “This expansion of distribution represents a significant step forward in our mission to grow our presence nationally.“

Jeptha Creed Straight Four Grain Bourbon (SRP: $52.99), the brand’s original 2019 release, is bottled at 50% ABV (100 Proof). It offers a rich nose of sweet cream, florals, dried fruit, and jam, followed by a complex palate of vanilla, nutmeg, clove, and toasted pecans, finishing long with vanilla mint and baking spices. The Jeptha Creed 6-Year Wheated Bourbon (SRP: $59.99) is bottled at 46.5% ABV (93 Proof) and opens with aromas of brown butter, toasted almond, and croissant. It delivers a medium, creamy mouthfeel with notes of cinnamon bread, honey glaze, tobacco, and a touch of chocolate, finishing long and light with hints of white pepper, dark cherry, and crème brûlée.

Consumers can now purchase the Jeptha Creed Four-Grain and 6-Year Wheated Bourbon at select Virginia retailers. Visit Jeptha Creed's website to find a store near you.
