Jeffersons Reserve Twin Oak Custom Barrel Bourbon 750ml Bottle

Reserve Twin Oak Custom Barrel Bourbon 750ml

Bottle size

“Twin Oak” sounds mysterious, but the reality is this is a bit simpler whiskey than the name suggests. The result of a six-year project with the barrel-makers at Independent Stave Company, Twin Oak is the inaugural release of whiskey placed in Jefferson’s CEO Trey Zoeller’s own “Jefferson’s barrel.” Like Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select whiskeys, the secret sauce is the grooved staves used to craft the barrel, making for more surface area and greater wood-to-spirit contact. Barrels are then toasted and charred based on a specific recipe. The “twin” moniker comes into play because these special barrels are only used for four months of finishing. The whiskey starts as 10 year old bourbon, sourced from an unnamed Kentucky distillery. The results are perfectly delightful for fans of bolder, wood-forward bourbons. The nose is heavy on the char, licorice, and clove notes, herbal and earthy. Bold cereal character hits first on the tongue, a fresh popcorn note that feels younger than 10 years and which comes across as traditional, almost old-timey. Secondary notes are mainly built around baking spice and a hint of butterscotch, notes of clove oil and a reprise of blackened barrel char hanging on for the finish.…

About the brand

Launched in 1997 by Kentucky native Trey Zoeller and his father, bourbon historian Chet, Jefferson’s Bourbon is a brand of small batch bourbon and rye previously known for using exclusive distillations from other distilleries. While Jefferson’s continues to use expertly-sourced whiskies from independent companies in up to 75% of their product lines, the brand recently partnered with Kentucky Artisan Distillery - now distilling 25% of their whiskey at KAD’s facility in Crestwood TN. In 2019, Jefferson’s Bourbon was purchased by Castle Brands, aka Pernod Ricard, and has expanded to offer various iterations of whiskey, including special edition and collector releases. One of the most renowned of these selections is their highly-acclaimed Jefferson’s Ocean; a line of carefully crafted whiskey aged at sea in barrels stored on container ships. The ships sail around the world for a minimum of 6 months, weathering storms and drastic changes in temperature which in turn lend a distinct palate and finish to each Ocean's release.

Tasting Notes

Nose

A thick dollop of vanilla, some vaguely smoky woodiness, a sweet cinnamon-infused note of apple pie filling, a wisp of roasty mocha, and a slightly vegetal and tannic note of oak.

Taste

Starts very lean, with a spicy bite of ground cinnamon. Dilute through midpalate.

Finish

Medium, leaves with wood char.
