Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea. Small Batch. Voyage 5. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. 750ml. 45%. 90 Proof. No box.
What began as a fun experiment has resulted in a more scientific approach to the maturation process of bourbon. When whiskey was first distilled in Kentucky, it received unintentional extra age from traveling on rivers and seas en route to market.
This was not just due to the lengthy trips but also the movement of the ship which forced the liquid in the whiskey barrels to be in constant motion coming in contact with the wood more often.
At Jefferson's they wanted to tip their hat to this tradition by aging bourbon at sea. They put fully matured Kentucky bourbon on a ship and set it on its way to crossing the equator 4 times, stopping at 5 continents and over 30 different ports. This process has added salty, caramel elements that round out the bourbon's profile to create an American treasure that has been cultured as it traveled the globe.
