Jeffersons Presidential Select 18 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey

One of the most common questions about Jeffersons Presidential Select 18 Year small batch bourbon is if it is a Stitzel-Weller bourbon. The answer to the question is simple. Yes this is from the same distillery that started the Van Winkle line. The distillery is known for their wheated bourbon mashbill, which is absent any rye grain. Jeffersons 18-year-old bourbon certainly packs a complex and flavorful punch. Its layered with rich, sweet aromas and flavors. The whiskey drinks its age with a heavy wood influence, but the results can only be described as a superb whiskey. Highly recommended.
