Jefferson's Ocean bourbon, which is aged at sea, has received criticism for not providing a notable mouthfeel and flavor experience. The intriguing concept involves shipping barrels around the world, allowing them to mature through varying temperatures and conditions. This unpredictable aging process can produce inconsistent flavor profiles. Despite its high cost, the bourbon sometimes features tastes like crème brûlée or tobacco but may also be overly salty. The brand also offers limited editions, like the New York Edition, boasting a distinct spiciness due to unique water.
Since 2008, barrels have traveled all over the world, crossing the equator and stopping at ports in various continents, letting rising tides and salty air mature batches.
The process results in a drink that can't be controlled, unfortunately, and this gamble is part of what you're paying for.
At over $5 per serving, Jefferson's Ocean is the kind of liquid you would want to savor, yet some batches deliver noses of crème brûlée and tobacco.
Jefferson's Ocean: New York Edition, for instance, is specially cut with New York water, delivering a noticeable spiciness when compared to other bourbons.
