Jefferson’s Reserve Very Old Very Small Batch Bourbon (2014)

Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon is made from four different bourbons all with different ages, like the standard Jefferson’s Very Small Batch Bourbon. Some barrels are as old as 20 years of age, making this limited release a pretty special Bourbon.

This particular bottling was from 2014. Most of the bottles you see in the market these days are from vintages a lot newer than that. The 2014 bottlings have been around for quite some time. But I laid into some inventory years ago, saving them for a special project, like what the Bourbon Buyers Club has become.

This rendition has seductive aromas of honeycomb, leather, baking spices with rich, velvty caramel with toffee notes, a hint of cocoa and cinnamon and a nice smooth finish that leaves only a slight burn with faint vanilla and butterscotch notes.
