Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea is fully matured for at least four years, then placed in rickhouses on ships to travel the globe, which hyper-ages the bourbon. The constant agitation, weather conditions, and sea-salt air impart a flavor like no other bourbon on the market. As wheat is a softer grain than rye, it allows the flavors that are intrinsic to Ocean voyages to be amplified, as it will not compete with those flavors as the spice of the rye does. The only wheated bourbon in the Jefferson’s portfolio. Disclaimer: Voyage number may vary.
Ocean Voyage 29, the latest expression, at the stroke of midnight, the ship, carrying Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea° Voyage 29 Wheated, used its side-thrusters to move away from the dock and out into the channel that would take it to the Atlantic. The bright lights that illuminated the busy Port of Savannah slowly faded in the distance, revealing a beautiful moonlit sky over a tranquil sea.
A tropical storm southeast of Bermuda stirred up moderate seas that gently agitated the cargo. Still, Voyage 29 avoided sailing directly into the storm en route to Manzanillo and the transit of the Panama Canal.
