Jefferson’s
Very Small Batch Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Category: Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Date Tasted:
6/21/2023
Country: USA
Alcohol: 41.15%
Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of warm cinnamon and vanilla roasted pecans, chocolate covered banana chips and coffee beans, cherry dr. pepper, and fresh nutmeg with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, engaging, medium-long finish with notes of milk chocolate, cocoa krispies, caramel, and banana bread with pecans. Just a delightful sipping Whiskey at a very approachable ABV; a pleasant charmer and reminiscent of more old school Bourbon.

About
Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Blended Straight Bourbon is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies with an added allowance to contain coloring and/or flavoring, something that is not traditionally allowed in the straight bourbon category. In addition to this allowance, a Blended Straight Bourbon's components do not need to be distilled in the same state as one another.
