Distiller Notes
Introducing Jefferson’s Tropics – a bourbon series focusing on exposing barrels to extreme weather conditions to accelerate maturation and accentuate flavor, with the equatorial heat and humidity allowing the bourbon to deeply interact with the wood, drawing richer flavor such as vanilla and caramel. It is the first bourbon transported to unique climate for finishing.
Mash Bill: 75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
