Jefferson’s Ocean Aged At Sea Voyage 26 Double Barrel Rye Whiskey

American Rye Whiskey | 96 Proof (48% ABV) | 750mL

Process & Profile

Jefferson’s Ocean Aged At Sea Voyage 26 Double Barrel Rye Whiskey is a limited edition that takes rye maturation to bold new horizons. It begins with a fully matured rye whiskey that’s then finished in a second new American oak barrel, enhancing its depth and spice. After re-barreling, the whiskey is loaded onto an ocean-faring vessel, embarking on Voyage 26—crossing the equator four times and docking at over 25 ports on five continents.

This maritime aging process, combined with double-barreling, creates a rye whiskey that’s intensely spiced, richly textured, and layered with notes only possible from constant motion, climate shifts, and salty sea air.
