Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea series was created as an experiment to see how much of an impact aging barrels on a ship would have on a bourbon. According to the company, “each voyage of Jefferson’s Ocean typically crosses the equator four times, visits five continents and over 30 ports on an average sailing.” Aged at Sea Rye is certainly approachable with a flavor profile that deviates from the more common modern-day in-your-face rye flavor profile to one that is softer, but complex and nuanced at the same time.
