Jefferson's

Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s is the brainchild of Trey Zoeller and his father Chet, a famed bourbon historian - who wrote 'the' book on Kentucky Distilling. As it turns out, they were continuing a family whiskey tradition that goes back to Trey’s 8th generation grandmother who was arrested in 1799 for the “production and sales of spirituous liquors.” Currently the Kentucky Artisan Distillery is the official home of Jefferson's where distilling, blending, bottling is done. Unique to Jefferson's is their expression 'Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon' which is made up of casks that have resided aboard ships that have travelled all around the globe. The constant motion of the sea churns the whiskey, increasing its interaction with the wood of the barrel. Extreme weather ranging from the coldest of coldest to the warmest of temperatures hyper-ages the liquid in ways no rickhouse could.
