Honoring Tradition with High-Proof Innovation
The Reserve Cask Strength release builds on the foundation of the original Jefferson’s Reserve, first introduced in 1998 by Trey Zoeller and his father, Chet Zoeller. According to the company, the latest release “honors where the brand began and highlights where it’s going by reimagining the original with high-proof innovation.”
A Bold Statement from Jefferson’s Master Blender
“For years, Jefferson’s Reserve has been our flagship bourbon, celebrated for its balance and sophistication,” said Trey Zoeller, Founder and Master Blender of Jefferson’s Bourbon. “With this cask strength release, we’re peeling back the layers to reveal the whiskey in its most authentic form—untamed, uncut, and packed with intense flavor. This is for those who crave the full experience of a high-proof bourbon that’s as big as it is drinkable.”
Flavor Profile: Fruit-Forward and Full-Bodied
The bourbon boasts a prominent fruit-forward character, complemented by notes of red fruit, cola, smooth vanilla, and barrel spice. A warm, lingering finish rounds out the profile, making it a celebration of both tradition and the brand’s continued push for experimentation in the bourbon category.

Jefferson’s Reserve Cask Strength will be available beginning April 2025 at select fine spirits retailers, bars, and restaurants across the U.S. The suggested retail price is $69.99 for a 750 mL bottle. Additional information can be found at jeffersonsbourbon.com.
