Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea Voyage 17

Nose: molasses, caramel, oak, sweet raisin Taste: oak, brown sugar, a little bit of that oily speyside scotch note Finish: a light whisper of brine and dried fruits - bitter oak note lingers in mouth and slightly metallic ending. Medium-long finish. Great bourbon. Finish could be a bit longer. Did not get much of the briny note that others have observed.

Nose: Vanilla, caramel, toasted coconut and a hint of pear. Brown sugar and a hint of cinnamon buns. Palate: Milder than anticipated at first, growing into a fuller flavor. Somewhat thin feeling in the mouth until the full flavor kicks in. Very smooth and easy to drink. Oak and dried fruit present up front transitioning into dark chocolate and vanilla notes Finish: Expanding alcohol and flavor sensation. Lingering vanilla and cocoa Overall, well balanced and easy drinking. Made my wife's Hallmark movie far more enjoyable!

Light color for a relatively mature bourbon. The nose screams salted caramel with an undercurrent of vanilla. There isn't a real surprise over the pallet and the finish is smooth. It's very unique for how it is aged, how it has been produced and it brings some novelty with a cool story attached to each bottle. For the price point, I'd prefer something that is a little smoother but makes for a good story to share with a friend.
