Learn MoreJefferson's Reserve now carries an 8-year age statement, with master blender Ale Ochoa selecting older, more mature barrels for a richer, deeper take on this core-range favorite. Bottled at 96 proof, it opens with dark fruit and vanilla custard before unfolding into baking spice, oak, and toasted almond, finishing long and spicy. It's a well-aged, full-flavored bourbon that rewards slow sipping and makes an easy upgrade for anyone who loves complexity in the glass.
Jefferson's Reserve 8 Years Old is a small-batch bourbon blended by master blender Ale Ochoa from older, more mature barrels. Every whiskey in the blend has rested at least eight years in American oak. It is bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV), a step up from the earlier non-age-stated Reserve, for a richer, more concentrated expression of the Jefferson's house style.
Dark fruit leads, with a soft layer of vanilla custard beneath it.
The palate opens with baking spice, which settles into seasoned oak and toasted almond, while the dark fruit and vanilla carry through.
The finish is long and spicy, and the warmth and wood linger well after the last sip.
This release is the reimagined Jefferson's Reserve, now carrying an eight-year age statement and a higher proof. It arrives as part of a refreshed core lineup alongside Very Small Batch, Triple Rye and Ocean Aged at Sea. The added maturity and strength give it more depth and structure while keeping the balance that defines Jefferson's blending.
Sip it neat or with a few drops of water to open up the fruit and almond notes. Over a large ice cube it softens into an easygoing pour. Its 96-proof backbone also stands up well in spirit-forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
