Jefferson’s Grand Selection Chateau Pichon Baron Cask Finish
Thomas Jefferson was also known to be quite the wine aficionado. As America’s first ambassador to France, he fell in love with the finest wines of Bordeaux, particularly the Chateau Pichon Baron, a red wine of world class quality. $139.99

To make this Jefferson’s expression, Pichon Baron wine and toasted French oak wine cask staves are used during maturation, complementing the complexity of their Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Aged in a proprietary “hot box” environment using hand selected casks, this is a truly harmonious and distinct whiskey, “combining the robust flavors of the Bordeaux, the wood notes of both American and French oak and the grain of a premium bourbon in a delicious, complex and balanced final product.”

The principal author of the Declaration of Independence and one of the greatest Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson was elected the third President of the United States in 1800. During his tenure, Jefferson authorized the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, dispatched Lewis and Clark westward in order to explore the remainder of the continent and repealed the Whisky Excise Tax.

After Jefferson retired from public office in 1815, he often tended to the garden that he had cultivated on his Monticello estate. At the time, it was customary for wealthy farmers, including Jefferson, to distill the excess grains they harvested from their farms into spirits (George Washington was one of the country’s largest distillers of rye whiskey). As a result, each farmer’s spirits were unique and reflected the local terroir of their farm. The Jefferson’s brand pays homage to Jefferson and the exquisite whiskey he distilled.
