- Excerpt: Extremely youthful. It’ll get there, but it’s a work in progress. Mildly dismaying they couldn’t blend away the youth, but when using stock that is clearly this young, those less desirable youthful notes will always be present.

Intro:
Jeffersons Very Small Batch Bourbon carries no age statement and inhabits most stores shelves around the $28 mark - extremely hotly contested real estate many similarly priced releases. We don't know who makes it, but it's bottled at 41.15% ABV.
-
Nose:
Young, corn forward. Vanilla bean, light caramel, some baking spice. A bit of grain.
-
Taste:
Thin on the palate, with signs of obvious youth. No real heat, but the green wood notes and musty grain makes it clear that not only is this a very small batch - it’s also a very young one.
-
Finish:
Short, musty, grass and hay.
-
Overall:
Extremely youthful. It’ll get there, but it’s a work in progress. Mildly dismaying they couldn’t blend away the youth, but when using stock that is clearly this young, those less desirable youthful notes will always be present.
