Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea Review

Jefferson's Ocean undergoes a truly unique aging process that sees it hit five continents and cross the equator four times over the course of a lengthy ocean voyage. How does the so-called “hyper-aging” technique affect the bourbon? Hard to say. But the quality of this whiskey is undeniable. The nose offers a light hint of fruit and rich helpings of vanilla. The palate doubles down on the fruit, adds floral notes, then ends with a fresh, vibrant finish.
