A gift from my friend on his many travels, this is a treasured addition of my collection. The nose on the Voyage 17 is beautiful and rich. Burnt brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, and oak spices hit hard. Subtler notes include pear, apricot, and seaspray. On the palate the spices hit the back of the throat and linger nicely. The brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla coat the roof of the mouth and create a salivation to occur wanting for the next sip. The brine from the seaspray is present but very faint (I wish there were more of this here as per other Voyage offerings). Also on the palate is a black cherry note that adds to the peppery notes from the spice. I am a big fan of the Jefferson's Ocean releases and love the voyages with more brininess as the spray adds to the flavor profile in the most delightful way. The Voyage 17 must have encountered very calm seas as this note is very indistinct. A unique bourbon and worth pursuing.
