The story behind it

The maker

Jefferson's was founded in 1997 by Trey Zoeller and his father, Chet, a famed bourbon historian. They aimed to push the boundaries of traditional whiskey maturation through innovative blending and experimental aging techniques.

How it is made

Jefferson's Ocean is aged aboard active cargo ships crossing the equator up to four times. This constant agitation and temperature fluctuation within the sea-locked rickhouses accelerates wood interaction to create a highly distinct profile.
