We first reviewed Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon seven long years ago, and it’s high time for a revisit. As far as we can tell from the packaging, this “Very Old, Very Small Batch” bourbon remains unchanged, but since the father and son owners, Chet and Trey Zoeller, have always been upfront about the fact that they source whiskeys for their different products, there’s a good chance this one has been tweaked a bit over the years. It’s reportedly still a blend of only 8 to 12 barrels per batch from three unique recipes. At least some of those barrels are aged up to 20 years, but presumably not many of them given the respectable price point. It has been a while since we kicked the tires on Jefferson’s Reserve, so let’s dig in!

The bigger, higher proof brother to the standard Jefferson’s Reserve is a well-aged, medium-bodied bourbon. The previous edition was labeled as a 15-year-old.

Nose:

The nose opens with sweet deep caramel, vanilla, grassy rye spice, a touch of dark fruits, and slight alcohol burn.

Taste:

An Elegant Combination Of Flavors, A Very Thick Body, Almost Syrupy Sweetness. Suggesting Vanilla And Caramel, Yet Very Fruity With Hints Of Dates, Blackberry And Orange.

Finish:

The finish is long and warming with sweet oranges dipped in caramel and sprinkled in white pepper. Followed by an aftertaste of minty old barrels and citrus peels.

Overall :

I would rate this bourbon as a success for Jefferson’s and a big step up from their VSB bourbon blend. It’s a wonderfully vicious and flavourful bourbon that drinks with much bolder flavor than its 90.2 proof would have you expect. One thing I picked up on was that rye is an important flavor component throughout.
