Distiller Notes
Jefferson’s Ocean Rye is aged in both new char and toasted barrels before being placed on ships that travel the seas. In addition to this unique ageing process, the
whiskey is non-chill filtered to bring an even fuller flavor profile.
On the nose, toasted marshmallows, maple syrup with a hint of spice. Notes of toffee and vanilla with accents of leather and tobacco on the palate. Baking spices with cinnamon kissed by sea salt on the finish.
Known for its peppery, spicy bite, Rye serves as the ideal base for cocktails like the Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. In order for a spirit to be labeled an American Rye Whiskey, the mash bill must be comprised of at least 51% rye grain. The remainder of the mash is most often a combination of malted barley, wheat or corn. After distillation is complete, the spirit is transferred to unused, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years, though many producers choose to age longer.
