Jefferson's

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.
