Jefferson’s Bourbon has been innovating in the whiskey world since it was established back in 1997 by Trey Zoeller and his bourbon historian father, Chet. In the years since, it has launched a handful of award-winning, industry-changing whiskeys (especially its popular Jefferson’s Ocean). Recently, it announced the launch of a new cask strength release.

This new, limited-edition expression is a non-chill filtered, 130-proof bourbon that was matured for eight years in new, charred American oak barrels. According to Jefferson’s Bourbon, the result is a multi-layered, balanced whiskey that begins with a nose of baked apple, rich vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak with a touch of leather. The palate is a symphony of flavors, including red fruit, vanilla beans, barrel spice, oak, and just a hint of toasted almonds. The finish is a warming blend of sweetness and oaky wood. Sip it neat or with a splash or two of water to open up the aromas and flavors.

“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,”  Trey Zoeller, Founder and Master Blender of Jefferson’s Bourbon, says.

“This is for those who crave the full experience of a high-proof bourbon that’s as big as it is drinkable.”

These dive bars don’t care about trends—and that’s exactly why we love them

Here's to the lowbrow watering hole. These practical establishments don't need bells and whistles like house-made tinctures and custom light fixtures. No, they've given us enough as it is, from that Cheers-like hospitality to that vintage dive bar smell.

Here's to the dive bar. The temple for regulars where a jukebox is preferred to a playlist, a sticker-covered bathroom is the norm, and a regular spoon, not a bar spoon, will do just fine for mixing drinks. Oh, and the drinks tend to be strong.

The griller’s pantry: 10 unexpected ingredients that make fire-cooked food even better
Take your grilling from good to unforgettable
Backyard BBQ, grilling

Grilling isn’t just about the meat. Sure, the sizzle of a steak and the snap of a sausage over open flames is pure poetry, but the real magic starts after the char. Any good griller knows the pantry matters as much as the grill itself. Once the smoke has done its job, it’s the flavors you layer on afterward that turn “nice” into “I’m still thinking about that” long after the embers fade.
