Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Wheated Bourbon Whiskey
Wheated Bourbon | USA (Kentucky) | Aged Minimum 4 Years, Then Aged at Sea | Wheat-Forward Mashbill | 45% ABV (90 Proof)
Process & Profile
Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Wheated Bourbon starts with a wheated bourbon recipe that delivers a softer, smoother profile compared to rye-based bourbons. After aging on land for a minimum of four years, the barrels are loaded onto ships to travel across the globe. Exposure to shifting climates, dramatic temperature swings, and constant wave-driven motion deepens maturation and infuses each voyage with maritime character. This unique process produces a whiskey with bold caramel richness, oceanic salinity, and spice balanced by the mellow nature of wheat.
