Jefferson’s Bourbon releases its Founder’s Reserve 20-Year-Old, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon finished in a French Bordeaux wine cask.
The expression is inspired by the pioneering spirit of America and its forefathers like Thomas Jefferson. In 1787, as U.S. Minister to France, he traveled through Bordeaux seeking out new techniques and new possibilities. As an homage to that trip, Jefferson’s finished its 20 year old bourbon in Bordeaux casks. The result is a 94 proof spirit. With only 250 bottles being produced, each is individually numbered and signed.
As America marks 250 years, Founder’s Reserve 20-Year-Old serves as a tribute to the same spirit that crossed borders, exchanged ideas, and brought the best of the Old World home to the American shores.
“We’re proud to raise a glass to America’s 250th anniversary with this Founder’s Reserve release, inspired by our namesake Thomas Jefferson and the enduring alliance between the United States and France,” says Trey Zoeller, Founder and visionary behind Jefferson’s Bourbon. “To honor that historic partnership, we selected a rare 20-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and finished it in a French Bordeaux wine cask, bringing together two great traditions in one remarkable whiskey. The result is a beautifully balanced, elegant spirit that celebrates craftsmanship, innovation, and the shared history that helped shape our nation.”
Jefferson’s Founder’s Reserve 20-Year-Old is an ultra-exclusive release with only 250 bottles available for $499.99.
