Jefferson's Groth Reserve Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 6 Year Old

Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s is 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".

Sourced Bourbon finished in Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks from the Groth winery in Napa Valley, California.

Groth Winery produced the first wine from California to receive 100 points from Robert Parker and produce one of the most outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon’s from the region. The barrels were sent to Kentucky, filled with fully matured Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, then the barrels were put in a “hot box” (a steel container that reaches up to 120 degrees inside during the summer) to sweat the wine out of the wood.

In the first 60 days Trey noted that it tasted like a glass of Cabernet followed by a shot of bourbon. Over the ensuing months, the bourbon took on unique characteristics from the Groth barrel which married together in a supremely balanced spirit.

Groth Cask Finish explodes with luscious dark berry flavors, such as black cherry and blackberry, evident from the red hue that the bourbon has adopted.
