Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea Voyage 24
Bourbon
Jefferson's // USA
The straight bourbons from Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea collection have aged around 6 to 8 years on land, before the barrels are sent off to travel at sea for several months. Typically the route takes the vessel to five different continents and 30 ports of call.
However for Voyage 24, the barrels took a new route for the first time in the series travelling only to ports in the Caribbean and Central America. This exposed the barrels to high heat for the duration of the trip.

Tasting Notes
"The nose reminds of late summer days on the boardwalk, with aromas of caramel apples and baked pretzels and a hint of bourbon leatheriness. The palate takes on richer flavors of toffee as well as vanilla saltwater taffy along with earthy espresso, clove, cinnamon, and tart raisins. The whiskey has a medium to long finish that's dry and spicy. "
