Jefferson’s Journey & Kentucky Aged Bourbon Whiskey

On January 31st, The Frazier History Museum launched Jefferson’s Journey Bourbon Whiskey. The name comes from the journey made by whiskey from Kentucky that was subsequently sent down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, along the Florida coast, and up the Eastern Seaboard before fast travel by land was feasible. Two barrels of whiskey distilled at the Kentucky Artisan Distillery were shipped out of Louisville in June of 2016, taking that same historic path through stormy seas in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean up to New York City. It took 58 days to travel down the Mississippi River from Louisville to New Orleans, floating at a leisurely 4.8 knots (under 6 miles an hour, for us landlubbers).

Distillery Information

Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s is the brainchild of Trey Zoeller and his father Chet, a famed bourbon historian. They were continuing a family tradition that goes back to Trey’s 8th generation grandmother who was arrested in 1799 for the “production and sales of spirituous liquors.” To personify the brand, they chose Thomas Jefferson—known for his curiosity and experimental spirit. This is a mindset to which Trey has dedicated himself, pushing the boundaries of the definition of bourbon. Upholding tradition, yet always discovering new possibilities.
