Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea Wheated Single Barrel is an exceptional limited-edition expression that combines two innovative approaches: ocean aging and a wheated bourbon mash bill. This single barrel bourbon is aged on ships that travel the world's oceans, while the wheated recipe creates a softer, smoother character than traditional rye-based bourbons.
The ocean aging process exposes the bourbon to constant motion, temperature fluctuations, and salt air, forcing the whiskey deeper into the barrel and creating unique maritime influences. The wheated mash bill—using wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain—adds a velvety smoothness and gentle sweetness that beautifully complements the briny, caramelized notes from ocean aging. Each bottle comes from a single carefully selected barrel, ensuring a unique, one-of-a-kind expression.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Caramel, sea salt, and vanilla with hints of honey, wheat sweetness, and toasted oak
Palate: Smooth and complex with notes of caramelized sugar, brine, butterscotch, soft wheat, and charred oak
Finish: Long and elegant with lingering salinity, caramel, wheat sweetness, and gentle warmth
Perfect for bourbon collectors seeking rare, innovative expressions. This limited single barrel release combines the best of ocean aging with wheated bourbon smoothness. Enjoy neat to appreciate its full maritime complexity.
