A flavorful sea-faring Bourbon tasting twice its age.

Jefferson’s was founded in 1997 by Trey Zoeller and his father Chet — a famed Bourbon historian who wrote the book on Kentucky distilleries. Yes, an actual book called “Bourbon in Kentucky: A History of Distilleries in Kentucky.” And eight generations ago, their great-great-grandmother was arrested for the “production and sales of spiritous liquors” in 1799. Which makes her the coolest ancestor ever! They acquire and produce a range of specialty Bourbons and Rye Whiskies. In 2007 Jefferson’s was sold to Castle Brands to build portfolio of premium spirits.

The Ocean Voyage series was launched in 2012. Here’s the idea… instead of putting the casks of aging Bourbon in a stationary warehouse, they put them on a research ship plying equatorial waters. After three years of near constant motion in warm, tropical seas, the Bourbon takes on the characteristics of a much older Whiskey. And the using a wheat-forward mash bill (less rye grain) means a smoother, sweeter experience. The current release is “Voyage 15” and each release is limited to three award-winning barrels, served at a wonderful 45% ABV.

OCEARCH was founded by Chris Fischer as a non-profit organization doing scientific research on great white and tiger sharks. His research vessel — the MV OCEARCH — serves as the aging warehouse for Jefferson’s Aged at Sea Bourbons.

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
