Jefferson’s Ocean Wheated Bourbon is a maritime-aged, small batch bourbon that travels the globe aboard ocean-going vessels, exposing the whiskey to constant movement, temperature swings, sea air, and barometric pressure changes. This wheated mashbill version softens the bourbon’s spice and introduces a smoother, sweeter profile, while the ocean-aging process intensifies wood interaction, resulting in a rich, complex, and truly unique bourbon experience.
Part of Jefferson’s acclaimed “Aged at Sea” series, this wheated edition is perfect for fans of softer bourbon profiles who still want depth and adventure in every glass.
