Jefferson Ocean Project

Richard Bourbon December 2, 2018 Bourbon Jefferson, Ocean Bourbon

This bourbon started out as an experiment with just three bourbon barrels on Trey’s friend, Chris Fischer of OCEARCH’s ship, in a curious effort to discover what would happen if bourbon was left to weather the extreme elements: temperature fluctuations, salt air and the gentle rocking of the ship.

Wayne Gretzky 99

7 / 10

Richard Bourbon December 2, 2018 Whiskey Wayne Gretzky, Whiskey

At first sight, this bright straw-gold whisky has a ruby red hue.

Richard Bourbon December 2, 2018 Whiskey 10 Year, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Single Barrel

Eagle Rare uses the #1 Mashbill from Buffalo Trace, which is thought to be a low rye mash bill consisting of 10% or less rye. Eagle Rare recently went through a label design change which moved the 10 year age statement from the bottleneck to the back of the bottle. They also removed the single […]
