Ireland may be dominated by one or two major brands, but Knappogue Castle is a secret that’s becoming harder to keep each year. "It's great to finally see Irish whiskey besides Jameson getting the attention it deserves," says Thomas.

Jefferson’s Ocean This bourbon is better traveled than you will likely ever be. During its six months at sea, the whiskey crossed the equator four times and made port in 30 cities on five continents. Of course, it never got off the boat. Trey Zoeller locked scores of barrels up in a container, put them on a ship without passports, and just slapped on a few return to sender labels. Sure, it’s a marketing gimmick — a clever one at that — but the result is a really excellent bourbon. We’ll chalk it up to a half year of agitation from the swaying ocean, but this whiskey has beautiful notes of vanilla, wood, and char — and we think we can detect just a hint of salt and brine from its long voyage.
Jefferson's Chef Collaboration with Rye tasting: A special thank you to a friend who brought me a couple of the hard to find Jefferson's Chef Collaboration with Rye.
I hosted a poker game yesterday and unsealed one of the bottles. To a man, all loved it.
Hopefully with such a enthusiastic tasting response from all I have shared a bottle with, Trey is working on increasing their Rye supply so that it can become a permanent extension in the Jefferson's Brand.
