Jefferson's Blend Of Straight Bourbon Marian McLain Limited Edition: A Legacy of Grit and Innovation in Every Sip

Discover a remarkable tribute to the audacious spirit of early American whiskey with Jefferson's Blend Of Straight Bourbon Marian McLain Limited Edition. This exceptional release from Jefferson's Bourbon is more than just a whiskey; it's a heartfelt homage to Marian McLain, the eighth-generation grandmother of Jefferson's founder Trey Zoeller, and one of the earliest documented women in American whiskey history. Arrested in 1799 for the "production and sales of spirituous liquors" to support her five children after her husband's death in the Revolutionary War, McLain's resilience and resourcefulness serve as the profound inspiration for this limited edition.

This highly complex and distinguished bourbon is a masterful blend of five distinct straight bourbon whiskeys, each carefully selected to represent a facet of Marian McLain's multifaceted character. The components include:

  • 50% 15-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon
  • 20% 11-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon
  • 11% Wheated Double-Barrel Bourbon
  • 11% Rum Cask Finish Bourbon
  • 8% 13-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This intricate blend, bottled at a robust 102 proof (51% ABV), culminates in a bourbon of unparalleled depth, balance, and flavor. The meticulous marriage of these diverse expressions, often receiving a final "marriage" in freshly drained barrels that once held Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea, creates a truly unique and memorable sipping experience.

Key Characteristics:

  • Tribute to Marian McLain: Honors Jefferson's founder's 8th great-grandmother, a pioneering woman in American whiskey.
  • Masterful Five-Whiskey Blend: Combines 15-, 13-, 11-year-old bourbons, a Wheated Double-Barrel, and a Rum Cask Finish for extraordinary complexity.
  • Robust Proof (102 / 51% ABV): Bottled at a higher proof to deliver a full-bodied and intense flavor experience.
  • Limited Edition Release: A highly sought-after and collectible expression, signifying its rarity and unique craftsmanship.
  • Complex & Layered Profile: Designed to unfold with a wide array of flavors, from sweet and fruity to spicy and savory.
  • Charitable Initiative: Released in partnership with the Marian McLain Entrepreneurial Fund, supporting aspiring entrepreneurs.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Deep, rich amber with captivating copper highlights.
  • Nose: Complex and inviting, with prominent notes of vanilla, caramel, and honey. Layers of toasted oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg intermingle with hints of ripe red fruits (like cherry and raspberry), baked apples, and a subtle tropical or brown sugar essence from the rum cask finish.
  • Palate: Full-bodied with a luscious, oily viscosity and a balanced mouthfeel. Flavors of rich toffee, brown sugar, and dark caramel lead, accompanied by a symphony of sweet cream, banana, and a delightful surge of baking spices. Notes of dark chocolate, dried apricot, and a nuanced nuttiness (pecans, peanuts) add further depth. The rum cask influence introduces a subtle "tropical funk" and added sweetness.
  • Finish: Long, warming, and remarkably smooth, despite the proof. Lingering notes of oak, vanilla, salted caramel, black cherry, and a gentle spice (cinnamon, black pepper) provide a sophisticated and satisfying conclusion.
