The nose opens with a warm blend of vanilla, butterscotch, and cinnamon apple tart, layered over a rich foundation of seasoned oak.

Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s Bourbon has earned a reputation for challenging traditional bourbon-making with inventive approaches. From the Ocean series aged at sea to the Presidential Select range of extreme-aged bourbons, each release pushes the envelope. The Twin Oak Custom Barrel expression reflects this same pioneering ethos, with proprietary grooved barrels designed to maximize wood interaction, a method that results in a bold yet refined profile.

Serving Suggestions:
