Product Description:

Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon is a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that undergoes an innovative maturation process. After spending 6-8 years aging in new, charred American oak barrels on land, the bourbon embarks on a sea voyage. It spends 5-10 months aboard ships, where constant motion, fluctuating temperatures, and exposure to sea air create a hyper-aging effect. This results in a complex, briny, and dark flavor profile, setting it apart from other bourbons.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma:
The aroma of Jefferson’s Ocean is rich and inviting, with scents of crème brûlée, sweet tobacco, and a hint of sea spray. These are complemented by the enticing sweetness of salted caramel, giving it a layered olfactory experience.

Palate:
On the palate, Jefferson’s Ocean delivers flavors of caramel, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. These are intertwined with savory notes of sea salt, adding complexity. A subtle hint of espresso or dark chocolate provides depth, making each sip a multi-dimensional experience.

Finish:
The finish is long and smooth, coating the palate with a lingering sweetness akin to classic Cracker Jacks, balanced by persistent coastal salinity. The finish is both satisfying and memorable, offering a unique fusion of sweet and savory notes.

Balance, Complexity:
In my tastings, I find Jefferson’s Ocean to be highly complex, offering a fusion of traditional bourbon sweetness and an Islay Scotch-like briny, savory character. The sea-aging process adds an experimental, distinct touch that enhances the overall flavor profile, making it a unique and exceptional pour.
