Jefferson's

The small business was found in 1997 as the brainchild of Trey Zoeller and his father Chet, a famed bourbon historian. They were continuing a family tradition that goes back to Trey’s 8th generation grandmother who was arrested in 1799 for the “production and sales of spirituous liquors.” To personify the brand, they chose Thomas Jefferson - known for his curiosity and experimental spirit. This is a mindset to which Trey has dedicated himself, pushing the boundaries of the definition of bourbon. Upholding tradition, yet always discovering new possibilities.
Jefferson’s Bourbon Whiskey is made in ridiculously small batches. This enables to showcase the different flavors that result from the wood in each barrel, as in the case of single barrel bourbons. It’s like making dinner for 8 friends rather than a group of 80 people.
The Jefferson’s Bourbon team seeks out new and aged barrels of bourbon from established distilleries that have perfected their art over hundreds of years. Then they do some old-fashioned experimenting, building balance and adding complexity through different selection, agitation and environmental processes until the taste Jefferson’s is known for is found.
