Bottled at 130 proof (65% ABV) and aged for eight years, this non-chill-filtered release amplifies the profile of Jefferson’s Reserve by offering an intense, unfiltered tasting experience characterized by robust flavors of red fruit, vanilla, cola, and barrel spice. The high-proof bourbon is positioned as a premium offering for enthusiasts seeking an undiluted, full-bodied whiskey at an accessible price point. Jefferson’s Reserve Cask Strength also boasts a nostalgic tie to Jefferson’s 1998 Reserve, an expression that the new product reimagines with modern intensity. Trey Zoeller, Founder and Master Blender of Jefferson’s Bourbon, shares about the release: "For years, Jefferson’s Reserve has been our flagship bourbon, celebrated for its balance and sophistication. With this cask strength release, we’re peeling back the layers to reveal the whiskey in its most authentic form—untamed, uncut, and packed with intense flavor."
