Jeffersons Straight Rye Whiskey Fished in Cognac Cask 750 ml

Jefferson's Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Cognac Casks takes a Kentucky-sourced rye and rests it an additional nine to nineteen months in ex-Cognac barrels after its initial aging — a finishing step that pulls in fruit and honeyed sweetness most straight ryes don't have. The nose is soft and grassy with honey and sweet cereal notes; the palate brings white pepper, clove-orange, and nutmeg over that Cognac-driven sweetness; and the finish closes on peach candy and lemon peel. It's a rye for drinkers who find standard bottlings too aggressive and want the edges rounded off by fruit.

How to drink Jefferson's Rye Finished in Cognac Casks

Neat or with a large single cube — the Cognac finish adds enough sweetness that heavy dilution flattens it. It also makes an unusually fruit-forward Old Fashioned if you want to see the cask finish come through in a cocktail.
