Jefferson's Very Small Batch is a blend of Kentucky straight bourbons of varying mash bills and ages, blended in very small batches and bottled at 88 proof (44% ABV).
Jefferson's was started by father and son Chet and Trey Zoeller in the late 1990s and built its reputation as a blender. The brand's Master Blender hand-selects and blends whiskeys to build a consistent, balanced and versatile bourbon, big enough for the connoisseur yet approachable for new bourbon drinkers.
The recipe starts with the base Jefferson's bourbon, a simple yet substantial whiskey, and adds three more hand-selected straight bourbons of different mash bills and ages, up to four in all. One component makes up the majority of each blend for consistency, and the others add complexity.
Because the batches are so small, each one keeps a consistent quality while letting complex nuances show. Expect aromas of brown sugar with a hint of citrus, and flavors of vanilla, peach and toffee, with a delicate, warm honey finish.
Easy-drinking and smooth, it suits both connoisseurs and people new to premium bourbon. Enjoy it neat, or mix it into an Old Fashioned.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
