I\u2019ve been impressed with them but admit that Four Roses Small Batch and Evan Williams Single Barrel are much better and cheaper. The JPS 17, 18 and 25 were all 3 pretty solid but boy are they expensive. I grabbed Ocean because I\u2019ve heard about it, not because I\u2019ve heard good things. Supposedly they hyper age this Bourbon for 3 years @ sea which is supposed to mature bourbon faster. If it was worth the effort, everyone would be doing it so given that Jefferson and Brewdog are the only ones doing @ sea anything, I was skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>I paid $79 and after 3 days, the bottle is almost empty. Not because it\u2019s good. The good stuff sits around a while as I savor it but this is basically on par with a $40 bourbon, maybe $30. It has a bit olive brine \/ salt, a lot of caramel, some table sugar and a lot of tobacco up front. It\u2019s not winning any awards on flavor and the price is pretty outrageous. I\u2019ll finish it but won\u2019t be picking up another any time soon. i can get 4 bottles of EW Single Barrel for this price.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most of the Jefferson\u2019s non Presidential Select Bourbons have been pretty good.
