Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea Bourbon

Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea Bourbon is a highly unique and innovative straight bourbon whiskey that undergoes a extraordinary maturation process aboard ocean-going ships. After spending its initial years aging on dry land, barrels of this bourbon are loaded into shipping containers and sailed across the globe, crossing the equator multiple times and visiting dozens of ports across five continents. The constant motion of the sea, dramatic temperature fluctuations, and hyper-exposure to salty maritime air accelerate the oak interaction, resulting in a rich, deeply caramelized, and distinctly briny flavor profile unlike any traditional bourbon.

Food Pairing: Sweet and savory BBQ pulled pork, grilled ribeye steak with compound butter, salted caramel desserts, dark chocolate torte, and sharp aged gouda or cheddar.

Tasting Notes : Deep copper and dark amber in appearance with a thick, rich, and remarkably viscous mouthfeel.

Nose : Rich and inviting, opening with prominent aromas of salted caramel, dark vanilla, and toasted oak, followed by dried fruit, brown sugar, and a distinct sea-spray minerality.

Palate : Full-bodied and complex. A bold rush of dark fruit, sweet caramel, and vanilla custard gives way to heavy wood spice, toasted oak, cinnamon, and a signature savory, salted pretzel note.

Finish : Long, warm, and satisfyingly dry, leaving lingering notes of dark chocolate, baking spices, rich oak, and a delicate briny saltiness.

Serve : Serve neat in a Glencairn glass to fully appreciate its dark fruit and subtle maritime salinity, or over a large ice cube to open up the sweet caramel and oak spices.
