History

Jefferson's Bourbon was first introduced in 1997 by Trey Zoeller and his father Chet Zoeller, a noted bourbon historian. The Zoellers named their brand after Thomas Jefferson because of his known innovations in distillation and his curiosity about the world, which they felt reflected their own approach to the production of bourbon.

Production

Jefferson's Bourbon is produced using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The bourbon is aged in new charred oak barrels and is made from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley. The brand includes a variety of small batch and single barrel bourbons, as well as rye whiskey. Some of the notable products in the Jefferson's Bourbon line include Jefferson's Reserve, Jefferson's Presidential Select, and Jefferson's Ocean, which is aged at sea.

Jefferson's Reserve

Jefferson's Reserve is a small batch bourbon that is aged longer than most bourbons, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor. It is known for its balance of fruit, spice, and toasted oak flavors.

Jefferson's Presidential Select

Jefferson's Presidential Select is a limited edition bourbon that is released in small quantities. Each batch is made from a unique recipe and is aged for a specific number of years, making each release unique.

Jefferson's Ocean

Jefferson's Ocean is a unique bourbon that is aged at sea. The constant movement of the ship, temperature variations, and sea air all contribute to the bourbon's unique flavor profile.
