Trey Zoeller and his father, Chet, a famed bourbon historian, established Jefferson’s in 1997. They were continuing a family tradition that goes back to 1799 when Trey’s eighth generation grandmother became the first woman on record in America to be arrested for the “production and sales of spirituous liquors.” Over the last 25 years, Trey has brought a unique perspective to Jefferson’s, seeing bourbon through the lens of nature, exploration and experiences. The brand has led with innovations in the art of blending and maturation, yielding distinctive flavors. Buoyed by the success of Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea, Jefferson’s looks to new aging environments for its next ground-breaking innovation. Introducing, Jefferson’s Tropics: a bourbon series that is hand-crafted to capture the imagination of whiskey explorers. Tropics exposes barrels to extreme weather conditions to accelerate maturation and accentuate flavor, with the equatorial heat and humidity allowing the bourbon to deeply interact with the wood, drawing richer flavor such as vanilla and caramel. The result? A drink (and story) worth sharing. Our first expression of Tropics hails from Singapore, with average daily temperatures of 82.1% and average daily humidities of 83.9%.
