Description

Bottled at 104proof (52% ABV), it offers intense caramel-toffee sweetness, exotic fruit, and a subtle saline twist, all backed by toasty oak and warm spice. Its a distinctive, well-rounded pour that stands out even among Jeffersons adventure-themed releases.
Aging Concept & Climate
-
Fully-matured Kentucky straight bourbon traveled via ocean ship to Singapore, where the barrels endured 18 months in equatorial heat (avg.82F) and humidity (~84%), accelerating wood interaction and intensifying flavors.
-
Founder Trey Zoeller selected a high final proof of 104 to preserve full expression and bold aromatic presence.
Nose (Aroma)
-
Inviting and oak-forward with layers of sandalwood, barrel char, and Mexican chocolate. Opens further into dark molasses, grated nutmeg, and coconut cake, with waves of sweet tropic fruit and a gentle brine note reminiscent of sea air.
Palate & Texture
-
Full-bodied and silky. The initial flavors of molasses, stewed pear, and black cherry evolve into tobacco leaf, crme brle vanilla, and rich baking spicescinnamon, clove, allspice, and cocoa. A hint of sea salt lingers like a soft nod to the Ocean series. Midpalate bitterness is slight and integrates gracefully.
Finish
-
Long and textured. Notes of dark chocolate, maple, nutmeg, black pepper, and seasoned oak persist. Mild sea salt resurfaces as an underlying accent, balancing the sweetness without heavy burn.
