2016 Jefferson’s Wood Experiement 92 Proof 200ml

A bold exploration in wood, Jefferson's 'WOOD EXPERIMENT' is a meticulously crafted, ridiculously small batch bourbon. This non-chill filtered expression marries a standard medium-charred barrel aging with a unique infusion of heavily charred American oak cubes, creating an intensely rich and complex flavor profile. Expect a powerful symphony of deep oak, dark caramel, and roasted notes, bottled at a robust 92 proof.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating interplay of sweet and savory notes. Initial waves of rich caramel, toasted vanilla bean, and brown sugar meet a profound oak influence, layered with hints of baking spice – cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle clove. Deeper inhalation reveals dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a whisper of dried dark fruits like cherry or fig, testament to the heavily charred oak cubes.

Palate: The entry is robust and full-bodied, coating the palate with a creamy texture. A delightful burst of sweet caramel and vanilla is quickly joined by a pronounced, yet well-integrated, oak spice. Notes of dark, bitter chocolate, espresso, and roasted nuts emerge, balanced by a consistent warmth. A gentle, peppery spice lingers, complemented by a touch of dried orange peel and a subtle sweetness from corn.

Finish: Long, warm, and lingering, with the heavily charred oak making its final, pleasant stand. Sweet vanilla and caramel persist, gradually fading into a dry, complex embrace of dark oak, charred marshmallow, and black tea. The non-chill filtration ensures a satisfyingly rich and coating mouthfeel, leaving behind a subtle smoky sweetness and a hint of barrel char.
