Jefferson's Tropics Aged In Humidity Straight Bourbon

Jefferson's Straight Bourbon Tropics Aged In Humidity: A Revolutionary Expression Born from Equatorial Heat

The journey for Jefferson's Tropics begins with traditional Kentucky Straight Bourbon, likely aged for a significant period in standard charred American oak barrels. These already matured barrels then embark on an ocean voyage to Singapore, a location strategically chosen for its average daily temperature of 82.1°F (27.8°C) and average humidity of 83.9%. For 18 months, these barrels reside in non-climate-controlled facilities, allowing the extreme equatorial conditions to perform a "slow cook" on the whiskey. This relentless heat and humidity accelerate the interaction between the bourbon and the wood, intensifying the caramelization of wood sugars and driving a profound transformation of the liquid inside. The result is a bourbon with an incredibly rich, concentrated flavor profile and a remarkably thick, supple mouthfeel. Bottled at a robust 104 proof (52% ABV), Jefferson's Tropics Aged In Humidity is a bold and captivating bourbon that offers a unique and complex tasting adventure.

Key Characteristics:

• Equatorial Humidity Aging: Matured for 18 months in the extreme heat and humidity of Singapore, a process that significantly accelerates aging and intensifies flavor.
• "Hyper-Aged" Profile: The dynamic tropical conditions create a more complex, richly caramelized, and full-bodied bourbon than traditional aging alone.
• Fully Mature Kentucky Straight Bourbon Base: Starts with a high-quality, already matured Kentucky bourbon, ensuring a solid foundation.
• Robust Proof (104 / 52% ABV): Bottled at a higher proof to deliver the full impact of its unique aging.
• Exploration of Terroir: Reinforces Jefferson's belief that a whiskey's "terroir" is more influenced by its aging environment than by where its grains are grown.
• Unique Flavor Development: Known for a distinct profile with intensified baking spices, dark fruits, and a hint of sea salt.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Deep, dark amber to rich mahogany, reflecting its intense interaction with the wood.
• Nose: Aromatic baking spices such as cinnamon and clove are prominent, often accompanied by notes of vanilla extract, rich molasses, and hints of over-ripened tropical fruit (like Bing cherry or even a subtle funk akin to Jamaican rum).
• Palate: Supple and thick with a full-bodied mouthfeel. The palate is robust, boasting rich molasses, toffee, and caramelized sugars. Notes of ripe strawberry, black cherry, and a hint of sea salt intertwine with barrel char, graham cracker, and warm spices like cinnamon and clove. Some detect coffee grounds or dark chocolate.
• Finish: Long, textured, and full-bodied. It leaves a lingering impression of spiced apple, seasoned oak, cocoa, and a unique sweet-savory balance, reminiscent of saltwater taffy or chicory.
