Member Reviews and Ratings of Jefferson's Very Small Batch Bourbon
Matthew,
Very good bourbon. Drinks well as a neat or add some water
Matthew,
Perfect
Benjamin,
Smooth. Very tasty. Excellent bourbon for every night.
Kevin,
I like it with an ice ball
Roger,
This one surprised me. A really nice flavor, smooth and a good price point. It's found a permanent spot on the shelf.
Jack,
Very tasty and smooth. A very nice bourbon for a casual night.
Matt,
Very smooth. Great chilled.
Terry,
A good solid bourbon. I liked it better with a little water to open it up.
Christian,
Smooth and delicious
Rich,
Great sipping whiskey.
Joe,
It was an upscale bourbon. Comparable to Woodford in smoothness.
Jim,
Perfect proof. Even though there is a spicy bite the full bourbon flavor comes through.
Ben,
So smooth! Just make sure you drink it neat. Jefferson doesn’t need any bullshit added. This is full of flavor. I definitely will buy it again.
Tyler,
Definitely a higher rye grain bill, there is a funky, spicy note that dominates the nose and palate. Beyond that there's a bubblegum and candy quality to this bourbon. The low proof is evident, but not a detriment.
Matthew,
Really smooth, flavor takes a while to come through
Thomas,
One of my favorites!
Nikole,
Smooth no burn and leaves a clean palate
Kyle,
I like this bourbon. Enjoyable.
Ryan,
Very mild - almost too mild if you like a little spice. It's solid but not the best.
Vic,
Smooth. Hints of caramel.
Daniel,
Spicy and caramel. Not bad, I could see is buying this sometime.
guest,
Brilliant bourbon, easy sipping, not too sweet.
Anthony,
For what its worth is a nice little bourbon. Perfect for a an everyday sipper. Simple notes of wood, leather vanilla none of which dominate. Smooth and easy to take neat.
John,
Not bad, but not great. I wouldn't be offended if handed a glass. However, I wouldn't seek it out either. Price is reasonable so it could be a good present for someone who has a delicate palate.
Johnathan,
Very smooth, great sipping bourbon.
Daniel,
Not a fan, given to me as a gift
Steven,
Excellent for the price, good small batch type flavor. Quality bourbon
Mitchell,
Starts off mild. Shifts into a cleaner-like chemical taste. Ends with warmth.
brandon,
very simple and effective bourbon. vanilla and oak throughout the nose and palate. a no brainer when it came to picking my quarterly free bottle. Will definitely pick up again.
Mark,
Great looking bottle on the shelf and very drinkable neat or on the rocks. For less than 35 I would definitely buy again.
Chris,
Inexpensive, mild and a great bourbon for those with a more sensitive taste.
Steven,
It's a decent low level bourbon but still tasty. Perfect pour for a bourbon manhattan.
Matthew,
It’s ok but not as good as Makers or Knob Creek; those are my standards
Tracy,
Good for sippin’
Leslie,
Just average and a little on the dry side for my liking. Not very complex, somewhat on the light/plain side.
Ira,
Inexpensive and tasty
Stephen,
Great QPR. Makes a great sipper with an ice cube and splash of water!
Wade,
Good easy drinker
Richard,
Not a bad sipper at all in my humble opinion, esp with an ice cube.... Honey and vanilla notes with a short finish. It is not overly complex, and sometimes that's a good thing. Moderate proof, which contributes to the overall smoothness. I recommend and will buy again
Mark,
6.5/10
Better than average bourbon. Good looking bottle on the shelf. An OK sipper, not the best. Overall, a fair deal for the price, and worth trying.
Haven't tried on rocks yet.
Katelyn,
smooth light. flaky - tends to leave the party early. Big smoker.
John,
Very smooth to the pallet. Highly recommend
Michael,
Light and smooth
John,
Smooth, easy drinking whiskey
JANICE,
Very smooth easy drinking whiskey.
Chris,
My go to. Very similar to Buffalo Trace.
Jeremy,
This batch was a little disappointing to me. The very old small batch is a step up and much better. This one is a little to thin for my taste
Rich,
This is my first selection from the club and I couldn't be happier. This surprising bourbon is perfectly balanced between sweet/caramel and a touch of spiciness. Nice all around and drinkable neat.
Christopher,
Good smooth bourbon but nothing in particular sets it apart from the rest. Would rate it slightly better than Makers.
Jonathan,
Smooth and mellow. Nice taste, nice price. A good solid bourbon. It stands up to ice but it is better neat.
Joshua,
Spicy with a nice caramel/honey balance.
David,
Easy to drink, caramel sweet but not too sweet, not too complex but not boring. A pretty mellow one worth trying
Matt,
Good bite off the top, but pretty average.
Laura,
Solid, nice caramel notes
Stefanos,
Nice spice and caramel flavor. Better dry
guest,
Not very memorable.
Christopher,
For the price point, it is pretty good. I got it at the NH state liquor store for $28! I thought 6 stars was too low. I have tasted this several times. I found that it is not my “go to”. I got the caramel notes and some spice. Missed out on the pecan pie. Finish is ok. Also, I hated it with ice. I felt like it tasted awful with 1 ice cube. Much better at room temp. Probably will not get it again unless I serve it to people that ruin nice whiskey. I did use it today with maple syrup and made bourbon pancakes. They were outstanding.
Paul,
Not my flavor palette. Not bad but not something that I would search out.
Alex,
I like a strong Whiskey, and this one is just too weak for me taste, and at the price point Knob Creek and Bulleit are far better.
Tyson,
Really surprised by this. Didn’t do much for me at first but leveled up after a while. Really nice.
Eric,
Great! Perfect sipping Bottle.
Jason,
smooth with a caramel flavor
Elizabeth,
very smooth!
Michael,
Spicy
Eric,
Enjoyed with a nice cigar. Great smell, easy finish, not too many distinct flavors
John,
My favorite bourbon so far. Great depth.
Brett,
Honestly, I didn't love it. It's fine for a dirt-cheap whiskey, but there wasn't really anything special to say. A bit harsh neat, okay on the rocks. I'll blaspheme and mix the rest of the bottle with Coke.
Dain,
Very smooth, good taste, really enjoyed it and will keep a bottle on hand.
Jonathan,
I think this is the one Jeff always had got me. Will have to investigate next time at store.
John,
Very smooth, good taste, enjoyed it while it lasted.
Rene,
Great taste and smooth for the price but the ocean is still my favorite
Aaron,
Smooth and sweet
Sean,
Great taste and smooth af... it’s great for the price and I believe it can hang with some of the higher end bourbons.
Raymond,
not a lot of flavor, smooth
guest,
Very smooth, nice aftertaste. Really opens up with a small splash of water.
Kirk,
Very smooth, hit hard at first with a bunch of spicy flavor then quickly fades leaving a smooth burn in your throat.
Brittany,
Love this. Lighter flavor. Smooth and a touch of sweetness. Will be ordering again
Chris,
Really a great everyday bourbon. Super smooth with a good lingering spice. Can’t beat it for the price
Jonathan,
Dusting of wheat, touch of sugar and a hint of cream, but overall an overly simple profile. Lingering alcohol burn in mouth, but finishes clean and quick (not bad, but not memorable).
Jefferson’s was founded in 1997 by Trey Zoeller and his father Chet—a famed Bourbon historian who wrote the book on Kentucky distilleries 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.” In 2005, Castle Brands purchased McClain & Kyne which held ownership of the Jefferson’s name. Up until 2015, Jefferson’s was distilled by various distilleries. In 2015 Castle Brands purchased a 20% share in the Copperhead Distillery Company. Copperhead owns and operates Kentucky Artisan Distillery, which is rumored to now supply approximately 25% of the bourbon used in Jefferson’s Very Small Batch Bourbon.
Jefferson’s Small Batch is a blend of small batch Bourbons. While no exact ratio of barrels is given, Jefferson’s states that “four different Kentucky straight bourbon whiskies of different ages...one of the blends comprising of at least 55% of the total” are blended together to form each very small batch.  Since the Bourbons that make up this blend are chosen as needed to maintain the character of the product, an age statement is not possible.
Brett,
Very smooth going down with a nutty flavor. Will share with my family to get their thoughts.

Was solid. For a small batch version of bourbon I was hoping it had more of a bite.

Love the bottle. And the taste was good. Was one of our samplings cut our Bourbon party.
Dane,
Solid bourbon. Picked up a mixture of red peppers, floral arrangements, and a sweet butterscotch. All together it combined for a smooth pour.
Dirk,
Above average - similar to Woodford Reserve, only smoother. Good to have on the second shelf down. Other Jefferson’s have more to offer the pallet, but a good sip nonetheless.
Troy,
A great value and an excellent bourbon

Spicey and sweet at the end with a smooth finish. I liked it a lot. I taste spicey notes with vanilla and sweetness with Smokiness mixed in.

Smooth taste with just enough bit makes this a must try.
