Voyage 17: Early morning sea air, sudsy floral soap on wet oak, fish oil, buttered toast, and caramels in waxy paper. Neat! I am quite pleased by how much the voyage influenced this whisky.

Mild aroma but spicy on the lips. Palate is well balanced, but no flavors come through with any significant power leaving a drinker wanting

General description

This Bourbon was aged in casks that were put on boat to sail around the world to keep the Whiskey moving around in the cask and to let different climate, have their affect on them.

Rating: 80/100, -2 for value, +/- for availability. Final: 78/100.

Its not a bad bourbon, but its too watered down. The idea for this was creative, but this needs to be cask strength or your not experiencing anything. The price is too high, make no mistake, this is a $50 Whiskey, not $75-$95, like I've seen the regular go.

Nose

Brown sugar, salt water, rasins, floral (like cloves), milk chocolate, honey, mesquite.

Palate

Very light on the palate

Mesquite, brown sugar, floral, lemon citrus, rasin, salt water.

Finish

Brown Sugar, Mesquite, rasin, caramel.

General description

Jefferson's does not disappoint. Not a typical bourbon expression but in a good way. Slight brine but almost unnoticeable, washed out by typical caramel and vanilla. Easy drinking and very enjoyable but not sure it is worth the price.. will wait and see how bottle progresses on that one.

the salt is there. I've got voyage 16, and I'd describe it as a salted caramel apple from the carnival as a kid. great. hard to compare to other bourbons because of how different it is.

Voyage #14.
This is very good. I had it at a whiskey bar for $15.50/pour. Tastes great neat. A few ice cubes bloomed it out nicely. However, I recommend this as only a bar pour. $80 in NC is way too much for a gimmick bourbon, no matter how successful the gimmick turns out to taste. You can buy 4 REALLY good bottles of $40 bourbon for the cost of 2 "Ocean Voyages.,". I am glad I tried it, but I think the reserve may be close at a much reduced cost.

At first it smelled like worn socks, but then it was more like hotel waffle batter. All I could taste was oak, and maybe saline (could the casks have absorbed salt from the air?)

Nose

Socks, hotel waffle batter

Oak, saline

General description

I bought this when it first came out and overpaid at $80 U.S. Not worth anywhere near that. I think it's suggestive marketing that makes people think there is brine notes, I don't get that at all. It was already aged 6 years on land and only spends 6 months on the ship which I don't think early enough or long enough to really alter the taste profile.

A nice warm vanilla and salty finish

Nose

Vanilla notes with a bit of oak and brine

Palate

Vanilla hint of fruit with just a touch of brine on the finish. Not a salty dog but just enough to let you this as been exposed to the ocean environment.

Finish

Mild brine finish warm and inviting.
